Transformers And 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

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.

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.

For this revision of their bestselling junior- and senior-level text, Guru & Hiziroglu have incorporated eleven years of cutting-edge developments in the field since Electric Machinery & Transformers was first published. Completely re-written, the new Second Edition also incorporates suggestions from students and instructors who have used the First Edition, making it the best text available for junior- and senior-level courses in electric machines. The new edition features a wealth of new and improved problems and examples, designed to complement the authors' overall goal of encouraging intuitive reasoning rather than rote memorization of material. Chapter 3, which presents the conversion of energy, now includes: analysis of magnetically coupled coils, induced emf in a coil rotating in a uniform magnetic field, induced emf in a coil rotating in a time-varying magnetic field, and the concept of the revolving field. All problems and examples have been rigorously tested using Mathcad.

Nikola Tesla was a genius who revolutionized how the world looks at electricity. During college his professors explained that it was impossible to design an engine without commutators or brushes. Tesla was unconvinced that such was necessary or even particularly desirable. It was then that Tesla began his work on the rotating field motor that ultimately gave birth to the modern age. In May of 1888 Tesla delivered his lecture "A New System of Alternating Current Motors and Transformers"
