Senior I.
Problem hour, 12-1, F. Lectures, 10-11, T. Th. S.
903. Alternating Current Machinery.
Lectures on the theory, construction, characteristics, and operation of
alternating current generators, synchronous motors, rotary converters, and
transformers. These machines are considered as units and as integral parts
of electrical systems. The principles of testing such apparatus under various
conditions of loading are discussed, and assigned problem work illustrates
the theory and practice. (Fall.)
904. Alternating Current Machinery.
10-11, T. Th. S.
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. (Winter.)
905. Electric Power Transmission.
10-11, T. Th. S.
Lectures on systems of transmission and distribution, with a detailed
consideration of the electrical characteristics of transmission lines; the electrical
equipment of stations and sub-stations, including generating apparatus,
switchboards, control systems and protective devices; systems of transformation
and the economic considerations which influence the design of
the complete electrical system. (Spring.)
