This book is about electric energy: its generation, its transmission from the point of generation to where it is required, and its transformation into required forms. To achieve this end, a number of devices are essential-such as generators, trans- mission lines, transformers, and electric motors. We discuss the design, construc- tion, and operating characteristics of the electric devices used in the transformation to and from electric energy. This text is designed to be used in a one-semester course in electric energy con- version at the second-year level of the Bachelor of Engineering...
