904. Alternating Current Machinery. [Rodman.]

12-1, M. W. F.

This course is a continuation of 903. The lectures treat more particularly
alternating current motors, induction, series and repulsion types, with their characteristics
and control apparatus. Methods of testing are outlined and graphical
methods of calculation and predetermination of operating characteristics are discussed.
Problems taken from engineering practice serve to broaden and fix the
theoretical deductions. 3 hours per week of supervised problem work. (Winter.)
