Book Description
Excerpt from Single-Phase Electric Railways The following pages are devoted to descriptions of complete railways and portions of main line railways electrified on the single -phase system. Most of the chapters appeared originally in the columns of The Engineer, and I am indebted to the Editor of that journal for permission to embody them in this book. In England there are but two examples of single -phase operation, one on the Midland Railway, the other on the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway but on the Continent the system has gained great popularity. Indeed, progress has been so rapid that this book has become much larger than it was intended to be at the outset. Even now it does not cover the entire field, but it describes some of the most important undertakings and refers to various schemes in the constructional stage. Its primary objects are to show what has been done abroad and to put before engineers and others interested in railway electrification details of overhead equipments, locomotives, motor coaches, etc., used on English, Continental and American single-phase lines. Whilst the book was in preparation alterations and additions to existing equip ments were constantly being made, and at the time of going to press a so-called split phase system is being developed in America. Single-phase current is collected from the overhead wire it is then converted into polyphase current and supplied to polyphase driving motors. As far back as 1891 Mr. Ward Leonard patented a similar scheme. It was proposed to feed a synchronous motor with single-phase current taken from the overhead wire the motor was to drive a dynamo, this in turn supplying direct current to a driving motor. Other systems designed to avoid the use of single-phase commutator motors have since been devised, but they have not gained prominence Most Continental firms are entirely satisfied with the single-phase motors they have developed in America, on the other hand. There is every appearance of the split phase system making headway. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
