The Performance And Design Of Alternating Current Machines

In this third edition the opportunity has been taken of a complete conversion to rationalized M.K.S. units. All formulae whether concerned with electrical magnetic mechanical or thermal quantities are consistent among themselves in respect of units. Only numerical examples are decimal multiples or submultiples employed if convenient and where ratings are given in units of MV A.kVA. instead of the basic volt-ampere the fact is stated. The text has been largely re-fashioned to give emphasis to essential unity of all electromagnetic machines a unity that had been obscured by the technological accretions in which each class of machine has in the last half-century become separately embedded Further an introduction is now given to the general circuit machines a powerful method of dealing with their behavior under transient conditions.
