Three Phase Electrical Circuit Analysis

Beskrivelse

“Three Phase Electrical Circuit Analysis” is intended to assist undergraduate engineering students who are studying the basic principles of electrical circuit analysis. Its purpose is to supplement the pre-scribed text book for the course. While the focus of the book is on three phase circuits, the basic principles of AC generation and single-phase circuit analysis is covered in the first two chapters. The analysis of three phase systems connected in both Star and Delta configuration are explained.
