Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Alternating Currents of Electricity: Their Generation, Measurement, Distribution, and Application is a comprehensive guide to the principles and applications of alternating currents, written by Gisbert Kapp and originally published in 1893. The book covers a wide range of topics related to alternating currents, including their generation, measurement, distribution, and practical applications in industries such as lighting and power transmission. The book begins with an introduction to the fundamental concepts of electricity and magnetism, before moving on to explore the properties of alternating currents and their generation through induction and dynamo-electric machines. It then delves into the measurement of alternating currents, including the use of instruments such as voltmeters, ammeters, and wattmeters. The later chapters of the book focus on the distribution and application of alternating currents, including their use in lighting, power transmission, and electrochemical processes. The book also covers topics such as electric motors, transformers, and the design of electrical systems. Overall, Alternating Currents of Electricity: Their Generation, Measurement, Distribution, and Application is a comprehensive and detailed guide to the principles and applications of alternating currents, written at a time when the technology was still in its infancy. Today, it remains an important historical reference for anyone interested in the history of electrical engineering and the development of alternating current technology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
