Publisher's Synopsis
Synchronous Motors and Converters: Theory and Methods of Calculation and Testing is a book written by Andre E. Blondel in 1913. The book is a comprehensive guide to the theory and practical application of synchronous motors and converters. It covers a range of topics including the theory of synchronous motors, methods of calculation, and testing procedures.Blondel's book is divided into three main sections. The first section covers the theory of synchronous motors, including the principles of operation, the construction of the motor, and the different types of synchronous motors. The second section focuses on the methods of calculation used to determine the performance of synchronous motors. This includes the calculation of the synchronous reactance, the determination of the synchronous impedance, and the calculation of the voltage regulation.The final section of the book covers the testing procedures used to evaluate the performance of synchronous motors. This includes the measurement of the synchronous impedance, the determination of the power factor, and the measurement of the efficiency of the motor. The book also includes a number of practical examples and case studies to help readers understand the concepts and theories presented.Overall, Synchronous Motors and Converters: Theory and Methods of Calculation and Testing is a valuable resource for engineers and technicians working with synchronous motors and converters. It provides a comprehensive overview of the theory and practical application of these devices, and is an essential reference for anyone involved in the design, testing, or maintenance of synchronous motors and converters.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
