Even in Korea, corruption was far greater than the conventional wisdom allows - so rampant was corruption that we cannot dismiss it; rather, we need to explain it."--BOOK JACKET.
Written for future electricians, ELECTRICAL TRANSFORMERS AND ROTATING MACHINES, 4e delivers comprehensive coverage reflecting real-world practice. It includes expansive coverage of magnetic measurements, exponential curves, control transformers, transformer nameplates, transformer sizing calculations, transformer installation, three-phase variable autotransformers, and more. The Fourth Edition is also completely up to date with changes from the NEC 2014 code. In addition, hands-on experiments are integrated throughout. Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.
Electrical engineering students are traditionally given but brief exposure to the important topic of electrical machines and transformers. This text/reference comprises a thorough and accessible introduction to the subject and this Second Edition contains more material on small machinery and a new chapter on the ``energy conversion'' approach to calculation of magnetically developed forces. A circuit model is developed for each of the basic devices and the physical basis of each model is explained. Chapters are relatively independent of one another and follow the same general plan--coverage is broad and deep enough to permit flexibility in course design.
Electrical Power provides an understanding of the principles and operation of motors, generators, transformers, and motor controls. Chapters cover the rules governing the behavior of electricity and magnetism; the machines and devices that generate, transform, and use electrical power; and the control of motors.
