Alternating Current Fundamentals

If you are an electrical engineering student or planning to do it and you want to build a foundation in ee this is the book for you. Its explanation of inductance,capacitance,3 phase supply,induction and synch motor is simply fantastic

This review applies to the 6th edition. This is a very good introduction to all of the various technologies of modern commercial AC power. It includes good descriptions of various 3-phase systems and their components (alternators, transformers, and motors). The book starts with the the very basics, but a working knowledge of basic math and electronics helps. Very readable with good diagrams. If you want to understand the difference between split-phase and three-phase current, or the difference between an induction motor and a synchronous motor, this is the book for you.
