Mastering AC Circuit Analysis: A Guide to Three-Phase and Two-Port Networks (en Inglés) - Hubert Henry Ward

This book is your practical guide to understanding and analysing AC power systems and electrical circuits. It begins with three‑phase generation, explaining how electricity is produced and how these principles underpin the operation of the national grid, including why power is transmitted at high AC voltages.

You then progress to three‑phase systems, learning how to analyse balanced and unbalanced star and delta loads, calculate three‑phase power, and understand the importance of power factor and its correction. The book introduces transmission lines, showing how primary line constants describe signal behaviour and lead to effects such as standing waves.

Mastering AC Circuit Analysis teaches you the essential tools used to analyse AC systems, including two‑port networks, star–delta transformations, filter design, and transformer modelling. You will also learn how harmonics, induction motors, and Laplace transforms help engineers understand and predict circuit behaviour.

This book equips students and engineers with the analytical skills and confidence needed to tackle real‑world electrical power engineering problems, making it an ideal companion for advanced study and professional practice.
