The designing of electrical machinery is fully
as essential to the thorough understanding of power
equipment and apparatus, as is the taking of a laboratory
testing course. One learns the relationship
of the different parts, the methods of computing
their dimensions, and the predetermination of outputs,
efficiencies, etc. and thus...
During the last five years the demand for electrical
energy in the state of Oregon,and throughout the entire
country,has increased to such an extent that electrical
generating stations have become an important factor in the
economic development of the common wealth.
Uonsidering the great need for cheap power, which
is...
The induction motor in its electromagnetic features
is essentially a transformer, while in its general behavior
it is analogous to the continuous-current shunt wound
motor. In a transformer the primary and secondary members
are both stationary and electrical energy is transformed
from one pressure to another by the ratio of...
This thesis comprises a series of tests run on a compound direct current generator and an induction motor; separately and combined as a set, with sheets of data; characteristic and efficiency curves and deduction drawn therefrom relative to the two machines.
"Before a company which manufactures electrical
machines allow them to leave the factory, each must
undergo certain tests to make sure that there are no
faults of design or workmanship and also ofttimes that they meet the specifications of the buyer. Four important
tests are made, e.g. (1) no load...
