<previous   BASIC AC THEORY 9   next> AC GENERATOR COMPONENTS   AC generators are widely used to produce AC voltage. To understand how these generators operate, the function of each component of the generator must first be understood. Field The field in an AC generator consists of coils of conductors within the generator that […]

<previous   BASIC AC THEORY 8   next> THREE-PHASE CIRCUITS The design of three-phase AC circuits lends itself to a more efficient method of producing and utilizing an AC voltage.                       <previous   BASIC AC THEORY 8   next>

<previous   BASIC AC THEORY 7   next> POWER TRIANGLE While direct current has one form of power, alternating current has three different forms of power that are related in a unique relationship. In this chapter, you will learn that power in AC circuits cannot be calculated in the same manner as in DC circuits. […]
