Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of polyphase electric currents and the alternate-current motors that utilize them. Written in a clear and concise style, suitable for both students and engineers, the book provides a comprehensive overview of this groundbreaking technology that revolutionized the field of power transmission in the late 19th century. The author examines the key components of polyphase systems, including the generators that produce these currents, the ways in which they are combined, and the properties of the rotating magnetic fields they create. The text explores the historical development of these systems, highlighting the pioneering work of individuals like Gramme and Gordon. The book goes on to analyze the structure and theory of polyphase motors, showcasing their unique capabilities, particularly their ability to self-start, unlike their single-phase counterparts. The author also delves into the concepts of impedance and reactance, essential for understanding the behavior of alternating currents in circuits. The insights offered in this book provide a valuable historical perspective on the evolution of electrical engineering and the emergence of polyphase systems, highlighting their significance in the development of efficient and powerful electrical machinery. 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. …
