Theory and Calculation of Alternating Current Phenomena (1897)

Theory And Calculation Of Alternating Current Phenomena (1897) is a highly influential book written by Charles Proteus Steinmetz, a renowned electrical engineer and mathematician. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the theory and calculation of alternating current (AC) phenomena, including the behavior of AC circuits and the principles of AC power transmission.Steinmetz's work was groundbreaking at the time of its publication, as AC power was still a relatively new technology. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the mathematical principles behind AC circuits, the behavior of inductors and capacitors in AC circuits, and the calculation of power in AC systems.One of the key contributions of the book is Steinmetz's development of a mathematical model for AC circuits, known as the ""phasor diagram."" This diagram provides a visual representation of the relationship between voltage, current, and phase angle in an AC circuit, and is still widely used in electrical engineering today.Overall, Theory And Calculation Of Alternating Current Phenomena is a seminal work in the field of electrical engineering, and is essential reading for anyone interested in the history and development of AC power technology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
