PRINCIPLES OF
ELECTRICAL POWER.
(CONTINUOUS CURRENT.)
FOR MECHANICAL ENGINEERS.
BY
A. H. BATE, A.M.I.E.E.
The rapid progress that has been made of late years in the application of electricity to industrial purposes, and particularly in the transmission of power by means of the electric motor, has made it imperative for every engineer who wishes to keep up to date to have some knowledge of the way electrical currents are controlled and used for practical purposes. This work is especially written for the practical engineer, mathematics being avoided.
