Practical Alternating Currents And Alternating Current Testing (1905)

By Charles Frederick Smith

Book Overview

""Practical Alternating Currents and Alternating Current Testing"" is a book written by Charles F. Smith and first published in 1905. It is a comprehensive guide to the principles of alternating currents and their applications in electrical engineering. The book covers the basic concepts of alternating current theory, including voltage, current, power, and impedance. It also discusses the different types of alternating current circuits, such as series, parallel, and series-parallel circuits.The book provides a detailed explanation of the various methods used to measure and test alternating current circuits, including the use of instruments such as voltmeters, ammeters, wattmeters, and oscilloscopes. It also covers the different types of alternating current generators and motors, including synchronous and induction motors.Throughout the book, Smith provides practical examples and illustrations to help readers understand the concepts discussed. He also includes numerous exercises and problems to test the reader's understanding of the material.Overall, ""Practical Alternating Currents and Alternating Current Testing"" is a valuable resource for electrical engineers and anyone interested in learning about the principles and applications of alternating currents. Despite being over a century old, the book's content remains relevant and useful today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
