Monograph, the 1st edition, John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1951, pg.229The primary object of thos book is to present a unified development of the fundamental circuit theory of the transient performance of synchronous machines as currently used by the engineers directly concerned with the prediction of machine performance. The general equations developed are applied to the calculation of transient short-circuit currents and torques; power, torque, and current, both in synchronous operation and during starting; and the voltage disturbances occasioned by sudden application of load. Emphasis is on a more or less rigorous mathematical development and on obtaining a fundamental physical understanding of the machine. Thus, the book is intended primarily for the practicing engineer who wants to learn something about the transient theory of synchronous machines.CONTENTS:
