Book Description
Excerpt from Electric Lighting, Vol. 2: A Practical Exposition of the Art, for the Use of Engineers, Students and Others Interested in the Installation or Operation of Electrical Plants IN presenting this second volume on the subject of Electric Lighting, attention is called to the fact that it relates to the conductors for transmitting and distributing the current, commonly called the distribution system, to the lamps, the supply of which is the final object of the entire system, and to the various auxiliary devices, such as switches, cut-outs, meters, etc., employed in con nection with the same. In short, the present volume covers all parts of electric lighting systems outside of the generating plants, the first volume being devoted to the latter. The properties of conductors and various systems of electrical distribution, including direct current, as well as single and polyphase currents, occupy the first half of the book. Overhead and underground conductors are next discussed, and then arc lamps are treated in considerable detail, since they are important features in electric lighting, and have not been very fully treated in other publications. Interior wiring, incandescent and other forms of lamps, and finally electric meters are given considerable attention. An appendix, containing the National Electrical Code, and another the Report of the Com mittee on Standardization are included, these being the rules which must, or at least should be, followed in constructing or operating any electrical system. In treating each branch of the subject, the principles have first been given with considerable fullness, being followed by practical examples of the prominent methods and forms of apparatus employed in actual practice. In the space available it has been impossible to go deeply into any subject, but the attempt has been made to cover the important elements and their relation, so that they may be understood and used success fully.

Pages : 146
Book Description
Countless collector car owners are skilled at performing mechanical work, but for many of them, electrical work seems like a black art, too complicated and too confusing. However, electrical upgrades are absolutely essential for a high-performance classic car or a modified car to perform at its best. With a firm understanding of the fundamentals, you can take this comprehensive guide and complete a wide range of electrical projects that enhance the performance and functionality of a vehicle. In this revised edition (formerly titled Automotive Electrical Performance Projects) brilliant color photos and explanatory step-by-step captions detail the installation of the most popular, functional, and beneficial upgrades for enthusiasts of varying skill levels. Just a few of the projects included are: maximizing performance of electric fans; installing electronic gauges; upgrading charging systems; and installing a complete aftermarket wiring harness, which is no small task. Each facet is covered in amazing detail. Veteran author Tony Candela, who wrote CarTech's previous best-selling title Automotive Wiring and Electrical Systems, moves beyond the theoretical and into real-world applications with this exciting and detailed follow-up. This Volume 2 is essential for any enthusiast looking to upgrade his or her classic vehicle to modern standards, and for putting all the knowledge learned in Automotive Wiring and Electrical Systems into practice.

Electric Light Installations:, Apparatus, Practical Handbook

Book Description
Excerpt from Electric Light Installations:, Apparatus, Practical Handbook, Vol. 2 As it is always desirable that a reader should be made acquainted with the plan upon which a book is written, a short explanation may here be offered. Volume I. was confined entirely to the treatment of accumulators, but since Volume III. depends, in some degree, upon the present book, the connection between the two should be clearly shown. Volume II. relates to apparatus, and a certain amount of information is given regarding their mode of use, though occasional observations occur which are not restricted within that limit. Volume III. more particularly deals with the method of working, so that the detailed information, which some might naturally look for in this book, will be found in the one that follows. In brief, the general description of a piece of apparatus appears in this volume, and any special application of it in Volume III., the assumption frequently being that the reader possesses the apparatus. It might appear, at first sight, as if the author were prejudiced in favour of certain manufacturers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
