Print on Demand. This book, a seminal work published when alternating currents were still a nascent technology, expounds on the fundamental principles underlying alternating currents and their applications. The author, a celebrated expert in electrical science, provides a comprehensive treatment of the theory of electromagnetism and the construction of dynamos, setting a foundation for the understanding of alternating currents. The book takes a deep dive into the significance of self-induction and capacity, exploring their effects on alternating-current circuits, along with formulas and graphical techniques for their analysis. It offers valuable insights into transformer operation and efficiency, while addressing the control and regulation of alternators for parallel operation. This book stands as a testament to the profound theoretical knowledge acquired by the author, providing a timeless reference for students, electrical practitioners, and historians alike. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Riassunto

Excerpt from Alternating Currents and Alternating Current Machinery, Vol. 2: Text-Book on Electro-Magnetism and the Construction of Dynamos

Tm: matter of this book consists, in essence, of the lectures which have been delivered for two or three years past by Professor D. C. Jackson to the senior and graduate students in Electrical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin, but Professor J. P. Jackson, of the Pennsylvania State College, care fully revised and extended the manuscript before it was sent to the printers. The method carried out in the book is based on the self-evident but little recognized principle, that methods which have proved best in teaching other branches of Engi neering must be equally advantageous in treating Electrical subjects. A treatise on electromagnetism or on alternating currents should therefore deal with its subject in much the same way that thermodynamics and the steam engine, hydrau lios and hydraulic machinery, or the theory of structures are respectively presented in the best works on those subjects. The startlingly rapid advances which have been made in our knowledge of the phenomena relating to electro-magnet ism and the electric current, tend to confuse the best teachers, and doubtless account for the rather superficial methods used in many colleges, in which results only have been presented to the student with little reference to reasons. Cthis error is generally admitted, and it is hoped that this work may, by furnishing a satisfactory text-book, aid those teachers who desire to improve their methods.
