901 Direct Current Machines. [Rodman.]
Lectures 9-10, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
Lectures on the theory, construction, characteristics, and operation
of Direct Current Generators and Motors and the accessory apparatus
required for the proper management and control of these
machines. The principles of testing such machines are carefully discussed.
A brief treatment of the theory, construction, and operation
of Storage Batteries and auxiliary devices concludes the term's
work. Problem work illustrating the methods of calculation involved
in continuous current circuits and practical examples from
standard engineering practice form an important part of the work.
