Dynamo-Electric Machinery: A Manual for Students of Electrotechnics
About this book
Excerpt from Dynamo-Electric Machinery: A Manual for Students of ElectrotechnicsSince 1892, when the fourth edition of this work appeared, much has been done in the development of the subject, chiefly in the domain of Alternate-current Machinery. To make room for the newer matter the earlier part of the book has been considerably compressed. Much of the chapter relating to the Magnetic Properties Of Iron has been trans ferred to the author's work on. T lze Electromagnat. The chapter on Alternators has been rewritten, as has that on Transformers. The subject of Alternate-current Motors has been divided into two parts, the first being now devoted to Synchronous Motors, the second to Asynchronous Motors but the latter has been briefly handled, Owing to the recent publication of the author's work on Palm/tare Electric Currents, in which polyphase methods, both for generators and for motors, are discussed in detail. The subject of Motor-generators now constitutes a separate chapter.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
