This book outlines a path that, in addition to providing the necessary foundation for dealing with the study of AC systems, allows an overview and an introduction to some of the powerful mathematical ideas and methods, fundamental to many areas of current science and technology.Besides a theoretical review for the practitioner, it can be profitably used as a bridge in the transition from high-school mathematics to specialized university courses. This is why the reader is accompanied...

"Ohm's Law" is the first in a series of lean volumes, with which the author, thanks to a long and consolidated teaching experience, aims to simply and quickly introduce readers to the world of electrical and electronic technologies.This is a basic course, suitable for students but also for workers who have undertaken a professional retraining process.Topics are developed in detail and rigorously, with clear and straightforward exposition."Let's Try Together" sections p...

The three-phase alternating current system is universally used in production, transmission and utilization of electrical energy. Knowledge of the concepts and principles underlying its operation, as well as the methods of measuring characteristic quantities, is essential baggage for the technician skilled in electrical and electronic technologies.The present volume, divided into three chapters: the three-phase system, three-phase power, and the measurement of three-phase power, enab...

This volume exposes and develops the essential topics for understanding the physical foundations and calculation methods of alternating current circuits. The text is a useful tool for the acquisition of skills necessary for professionals as well as students of Electrical and Electronic Technologies, also representing a preparatory resource for university courses.Specifically, it is composed of the first six chapters of the larger work: "From Alternating Current to the Fourier Transf...

"Electric Circuits" is the second volume in the series Fundamentals of Electrical and Electronic Technology. In the same spirit as the previous volume, the fundamental elements of the electrical circuit are considered, starting with series and parallel connections, through to the generalized Ohm's law of two-terminal components and a description of the behavior of voltage and current sources, including an analysis of energy aspects.This is a basic course, suitable for students as we...

This third volume in the series Fundamentals of Electrical and Electronic Technologies deals with the main and most popular methods of solving electrical networks. We discuss superposition of effects, star- delta transformations, Kichhoff's principles of course, node potentials analysis, Millman's theorem.Special consideration deserves Thévenin's theorem (with its dual Norton's theorem), a very powerful tool for simplification of complex networks, but often difficult in understandin...
