The subject matter of this course is presented in three divisions as follows:
a. A study of direct-current generator and motor characteristic curves, separation of losses, regulation and efficiency, parallel operation, three-wire and pump-back tests, armature reaction and commutation.
b. A similar study of alternating current machinery includes transformers, alternators, synchronous and asynchronous polyphase motors, single-phase motors and converters.
c. Armature windings: development from elementary coil of both ring and drum types; representation of both open and closed circuit winding by circular diagrams, tables and vector diagrams; bipolar and multipolar, simplex and multiplex windings; phase distribution and distribution factors.
An extensive laboratory course supplements the class work.
