Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Principles of Alternating Current Machinery
The transformer is the simplest piece of alternating-current apparatus and logically perhaps should be considered first in discussing the principles of alternating-current machinery. Experience has shown, however, that students just beginning the subject grasp the principles of the alternator more readily than those of the transformer. For this reason the alternator is taken Up first.
No attempt has been made to treat all types of alternating current machines, only the most important being considered. Certain types have been developed in considerable detail where such development seemed to bring out important principles, while other types have been considered only brie?y or omitted altogether. No new methods have been used, but it is believed that bringing together material which has been much scattered and making it available for students is sufficient reason for the publication of the book.
Mathematical and analytical treatment of the subject has been freely employed where such treatment offered any advantage. The symbolic notation has been used throughout the book.
