An Electrician's Guide to Single Phase Transformers
Being able to step voltages to a higher value and step voltages down to a lower value is one of the benefits of alternating current. This book will explain how this is possible through transformers with a focus on single phase., Textbook
Engineering Systems Dynamics Modelling, Simulation, and Design
This open education resource presents effective system modelling methods, including Lagrangian and bond graph, and the application of a relevant engineering software tool, 20-sim. The content is designed for engineering students and professionals in the field to support their understanding and application of these methods for modelling, simulation, and design of engineering systems. The text also includes videos showing selected worked-out examples., Peer reviewed
Strength of Materials Supplement for Power Engineering
Applied Strength of Materials is a technical course in Power and Process Engineering program, second year. The course prepares the graduates for solving practical engineering problems; it also covers the topics needed for 2nd and 1st class Power Engineering certification exams. This work is designed to complement the Applied Strength of Materials open textbook written by Dr. Barry Dupen, Associate Professor at Indiana University – Purdue University Fort Wayne. This open textbook covers all the topics required by the BCIT curriculum and Power Engineering certification exams. However, it does not include end of the chapter questions., Level 4.
