The Fall Term is given to a more advanced study of Alternating
Current Phenomena
as they present themselves in Transformers,
Induction Motors, Alternators, Synchronous Motors, and Rotary Converters.
In the Winter Term the phenomena of Electric Transmissions
for Light and for Power
at both high and low voltages are
studied, together with electric incandescent and are lamps and their
photometry. The Spring Term is devoted to Electric Traction including
the study of motor capacity and design, train performance,
controllers, brakes, power houses, sub-stations, transmission, rolling
stock, roads, and the economics of the electric railway. The laboratory
exercises run parallel with the lectures through the entire course.
