Alternating Current Fundamentals, 7th Edition
Alternating Current Theories and Applications!
Description:
An industrial standard for more than 30 years, Alternating Current Fundamentals has been updated once again to furnish readers with the most comprehensive information available on AC essentials. Topics are thoughtfully arranged to build knowledge, progressing from basic principles such as the differences between peak, rms, and average values to more complex coverage of circuits containing resistance, inductance, and capacitance. The 7th Edition features improved graphics that assist readers in understanding such state-of-the-art concepts as phase angle differences between voltage and current in an alternating current circuit, apparent power versus true power, and the power factor. 736 pp.
Features:
- information on capacitors, single-phase and three-phase transformers, and single-phase and three phase motors makes this one of the most comprehensive and cost-effective books on the market
- enhanced examples of basic AC circuits to give theoretical concepts a basis in real-world applications
- applicable chapters contain practice problems; as well as answers so that readers can monitor their progress as they move through the book
