Long Distance Electric Power Transmission PDF Download

Excerpt from Long-Distance Electric Power Transmission Being a Treatise on the Hydro-Electric Generation of Energy: Its Transformation, Transmission, and Distribution Elementary mathematics is employed, and frequent reference has been made to the classic of Merriman, "Hydraulics." In the chapters on generators and the laws involved in transmission, the treatment is rather succinct, and presupposes a knowledge of alternating currents and polyphase machinery. The art is undergoing such a rapid evolution that the author will warmly appreciate any suggestions from readers on improvements in apparatus treated since the material was prepared. To those manufacturers who have courteously given information on, and loaned electrotypes of, their apparatus, the author desires to express his hearty thanks.
