Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electrical Distribution of Heat, Light and Power Believing that the subject of electrical distribution and its attendant dangers is of interest to a wider circle of readers than. Is represented by the membership of the medico-legal International Congress, the writer republishes his address, with a list of deaths from electric lighting apparatus and the able paper of Mr. John Murray Mitchell. To prevent any hasty and ill-advised legislation on the matter, it is necessary that it should receive careful con sideration from scientific, legal and business standpoints. Though the writer would favor making the law suggested by Mr. Mitchell apply solely to the high-tension alternating current on the ground that the continuous current can be made safe, it will perhaps serve as a basis for discussion which could not otherwise be obtained.

Excerpt: ...with one of the galvanometer coils is adjusted, until a balance is obtained, in which case-=, if G is R tithe resistance of each coil of the galvanomter. Although under certain conditions greater accuracy may be obtained by the fall of potential method of measuring conductor resistances, the bridge method is the one most usually employed; since the apparatus for it is more conveniently arranged in connection with that which is required for other electrical tests. The bridge may also be employed for localizing a fault in a length of cable by the loop test, the connections being made as shown in Fig. 52, where F is the fault. When a balance is obtained----; = =, or---i-_--=----l-' AF Rt' AF Ei but (AF + BF) and AF are proportional respectively to the total length of cable, and the distance of the fault from the end A, when the resistance per unit length of the conductor is the same throughout; and therefore the distance of the fault from A = =--x length of cable. When the conductor tix + K2 resistance is not uniform throughout, as for instance when testing leads are used to connect the terminals A and B with the ends of the cable, the conductor resistance of each section must be obtained separately by the ordinary method, so that all resistances between A and B may be expressed in terms of the resistance per unit length of the conductor of the cable under test. If the resistance of the fault is high, a considerable battery Fig. 52. power is required to enable the test to be made with any degree of accuracy; and in the factory, where earth currents do not disturb the results, it is often more convenient to reverse the positions of the battery and galvanometer. This latter arrangement is very handy for use with the metre bridge, which...

This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Electric Light, and the Storing of Electrical Energy Observe that, although the great mass of nails has fallen down from the poles of the electro-magnet, there are one or two of the smaller nails still feebly clinging to it. To satisfy you that this is not a mere accident, I repeat the experiment again and again: each time, when the current is shut off, two or three small nails remain attached to the poles of the magnet. From this we may infer that, although the iron bar loses its magnetism, when the current ceases to pass, it does not lose: it altogether; some faint traces still remain. This is called residual magnetism: and I ask you now to take a note of it, because you will see, a little later on, what an important part this residual magnetism will be called upon to play, in the development of our machine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 C om 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Central-Station Electric Lighting: With Notes on the Methods Used for the Distribution of Electricity A paper entitled central-station Electric Light ing was contributed by the Author to the Institution of Civil Engineers, and was published in Part II. Of the Minutes, 1886 - 87; the subject-matter has been ex tended and brought up to date, with the object of giving a description of the systems which are prao tically employed in central-station Lighting at home and on the Continent. Details respecting the gene rating plant at these stations are omitted on purpose; technical terms would also be avoided if possible; failing this, it is hoped that the accompanying Glos sary will explain what is unfamiliar. The amendment of the Electric Lighting Act of 1882 has given a fresh stimulus to the industry, and many new enterprises for distributing electricity from central-stations are being prepared, and it is to be hoped that the public will profit by former experience, and will discriminate between the good and the bad schemes which will be offered to them.

Download or read book Underground Transmission and Distribution written by Edward Bernard Meyer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Underground Transmission and Distribution: For Electric Light and Power The rapid growth of the electric light and power industry with the resultant increase in the number of overhead wires, has brought about the policy on the part of municipal authorities of compelling utility companies to operate their systems underground. This has led to the development of a more or less specialized branch of electrical engineering; it involves large expenditures annually and gives rise to operating difficulties in many cases not clearly understood by the central station engineer. While there are various treatises which deal with special branches quite fully, there appears to be no work which covers the general field of underground construction, transmission and distribution. The writing of this book was undertaken by the author because of repeated requests from engineers engaged in the construction and operation of underground systems, for information bearing on many of the details of this branch of central station work. In the preparation of this volume, the author has not included such data as can readily be obtained from handbooks. The treatment of the subject assumes on the part of the reader a general knowledge of the fundamentals of electrical theory. The subject matter has been treated from the American point of view, since European practice differs considerably from that followed in America, due to the difference in conditions under which electric lighting properties are operated. A part of the material contained in this volume originally appeared in the various reports of the National Electric Light Association Committee on Underground Construction, on which committee the author has served for the past five years, and acknowledgment is hereby made to the Association for permission to use data from these reports.
