Synopsis

Hook line : A practical, building-block guide to alternating-current machines, from basics to real-world design.

The book covers the theory and practical design of transformers, motors, and alternators, with a clear look at how alternating current behaves in real systems. It introduces the properties of alternating currents, wave shapes, and the factors that distort voltage and current in practice, then moves into construction, operation, and testing of machines. This edition emphasizes American designs and applications, including power transmission and a wide range of measurement and test methods.

• Learn the fundamentals of AC, including self-induction, capacitance, and inductance, and how they shape current and voltage
• Explore transformers and motors in depth, with guidance on design, efficiency, and practical calculations
• Understand rotating fields, induction motors, and the behavior of polyphase systems
• Discover how to test and analyze AC circuits, and how power transmission fits into the picture

Ideal for students, engineers, and practitioners working with alternating-current power systems, this book offers both the theory and the hands-on guidance you need.
