Theory Of Alternating Current Machinery Alexander Langsdorf

THIS large volume is devoted solely to the theory of the steady state of electromagnetic A.C. machinery (thus excluding electronic devices such as mercury arc rectifiers). Questions of design are touched only so far as they form the background from which the theoretical problems arise. The wide field thus available enables the author to adopt a comprehensive and at the same tune broad and easily readable treatment. A specially commendable feature of the book is that the usual analysis by means of vector diagram and complex algebra is always preceded by a very full discussion of the physical relations. In this connexion the chapter on asynchronous machines, which can well be read independently of the rest of the book, should be of special interest to students.
