Page 19 - ... assembly of a type used in destroyers, and with a high pound price. At the other end of the series was a heavy assembly with a low pound price. Considering the effect of weight on the rest of the turbine structure, an intermediate design was selected. Estimates of the gear assembly were also supplied by the General Electric Company and the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company. The Electric Coupling The problem of providing a coupling between the generator and the gear box, to serve...
Page 37 - In an n-winding transformer, therefore, the true leakage reactance of one of the windings may, in general, have n — 1 values, namely, a distinct value for each of the other windings with respect to which the leakage reactance is determined. Of course, there is a possibility that two or more of these values may coincide, due, for instance, to symmetrical arrangement of the windings. It is convenient to introduce symbols for the true leakage impedances and reactances as follows: ZK» = Ri + jXim...
Page 18 - Hence, the effective value of a complex wave is equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the effective values of the components.
Page 318 - The magnetomotive force is not constant over the pole but varies according to the sine law. Since it is not constant, it is necessary to determine its average value over the pole shoe in order to find its effect in modifying the field. The portion of the magnetomotive force which is effective is shaded in the sketch.
Page 29 - Solution of electric power transmission problems in the laboratory by miniature circuits.
Page 231 - The transformer core is in this respect nothing but a frequency converter, and the harmonics add to what may be called the apparent core loss, or to the fundamental input to the core, while, in reality, a part of this power is expended as copper loss by harmonic currents.
