Motors Generators Transformers And Energy

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.

Transformers and Motors is an in-depth technical reference which was originally written for the National Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee to train apprentice and journeymen electricians. This book provides detailed information for equipment installation and covers equipment maintenance and repair. The book also includes troubleshooting and replacement guidelines, and it contains a minimum of theory and math. In this easy-to-understand, practical sourcebook, you'll discover: * Explanations of the fundamental concepts of transformers and motors * Transformer connections and distribution systems * Installation information for transformers and motors * Preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair tips and techniques * Helpful illustrations, glossary, and appendices * End-of-chapter quizzes to test your progress and understanding In-depth source for installation, maintenance, troubleshooting, repairing and replacing transformers and motors Reviewed by the National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee for the Electrical Industry Designed to train apprentice and journeyman electricians

A comprehensive text on the theory and performance of transformers and electromechanical energy conversion devices, this text features a description of steady-state operation first, followed by broad concepts of conversion of energy. Dynamic circuit theory is gradually introduced. Force and torque equations are developed first, then by means of primitives, the voltage equations are formulated systematically. A flexible organization allows instructors to select material for one-, two- or three-term courses.

Offers key concepts of electrical machines embedded with solved examples, review questions, illustrations and open book questions.

This book is an excellent resource for electrical students and professionals who need a comprehensive explanation of theory and practical applications of electrical machines. The book includes nine experiments enabling readers to reinforce the theory discussed earlier. Students begin wiht single-phase isolation transformers and progress through 3-phase transformers and single and 3-phase motors. Features: -quick access to information on single and three phase transformers, DC generators and motors makes this an ideal book for those in the electrical trades -combination of theory and practical applications for htose entering the industrial electrical field -a unit on three phase power provides refresher information on conncections and calculations ALSO AVAILABLE INSTRUCTOR SUPPLEMENTS CALL CUSTOMER SUPPORT TO ORDER Instructor's Manual, ISBN: 0-7668-0580-8
