Reed's Advanced Electrotechnology for Engineers (Reed's Marine Engineering Series, Band 7) - Softcover

A Companion to Volume 6 in the same series (Basic Electrotechnology) this book covers more aspects of the theory of Electrotechnology. The syllabus is close to that of Electrical Engineering for Marine Engineer Cadets (Phase 3) of the Alternative training scheme and covers more fully the requirements of the Department of Trade Syllabus for Class 1 and Class 2 Marine Engineers exams. Students studying for the Extra First Class Engineers' Certificate will also find it of value. It anticipates future extensions of these syllabuses and deals with brushless A C generators, excitation systems for marine alternators, and semiconductor theory relating to the diode, transistor and the thyristor. Numerous fully-worked problems are included in the text as well as test examples and typical examination questions with solutions.
