Principles of Alternating-Current Machinery

This book deals with the principles underlying the construction and operation of alternating current machinery. The transformer is the simplest piece of alternating current apparatus and logically perhaps should be considered first in discussing the principles of alternating current machinery. No attempt has been made to treat all types of alternating current machines, only the most important being considered. Mathematical and analytical treatment of the subject has been freely employed where such treatment offered any advantage. The symbolic notation has been used throughout the book. Covers static transformers, synchronous generators, synchronous motors, parallel operation of synchronous generators, polyphase induction motors, single phase induction motors, series and repulsion motors, synchronous convertors, and mercury arc rectifiers.
