Electrical Transformers and Rotating Machines

By Stephen L. Herman - Second Edition

Now in its Second Edition, 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 with a study of magnetism and magnetic induction, single-phase isolation transformers, current transformers, and autotransformers. A unit on three-phase power refreshes the student with basic three-phase connections and calculations before proceeding into three-phase transformers.

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
• combines theory and practical applications for those interested in employment within the industrial electrical field
• units covering the installation of transformers and motors have been updated to reflect the changes in the 2005 NEC®
