903 Alternating Current Machinery. [Rodman.]

Lectures 11-12, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

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. Graphical diagrams
are made use of as offering the most readily comprehensible treatment

of the complex relations existing in alternating current machinery.
The principles of testing such apparatus under various conditions
of loading are discussed and assigned problem work illustrates
the theory and practice.

[Required, Fall, in Course III (4).]
