Electric Lines and Nets

By A E Kennelly

"Electric Lines and Nets" is a fundamental technical treatise exploring the mathematical and physical principles governing the transmission of electricity. Authored by the renowned electrical engineer A. E. Kennelly, this work provides a comprehensive analysis of the behavior of electrical conductors and complex networks. The text delves into the theory of alternating currents, emphasizing the application of complex numbers and hyperbolic functions to solve practical problems in power distribution and telecommunications.

Throughout the volume, Kennelly examines the properties of long-distance transmission lines, the distribution of voltage and current, and the intricacies of multi-terminal networks. By bridging the gap between theoretical physics and applied engineering, the book offers a rigorous framework for understanding impedance, resonance, and the efficiency of electrical grids. "Electric Lines and Nets" remains a significant contribution to the field of electrical engineering, representing a pivotal era in the development of modern power systems and the standardization of circuit analysis techniques. It is an essential resource for those interested in the history of technology and the foundational mathematics of electrical infrastructure.
