Opening Source Excerpt
Section titled “Opening Source Excerpt”CHAPTER VI INDUCTION-MOTOR REGULATION AND STABILITY 1. VOLTAGE REGULATION AND OUTPUT 79. Load and speed curves of induction motors are usually calculated and plotted for constant-supply voltage at the motor terminals. In practice, however, this condition usually is only approximately fulfilled, and due to the drop of voltage in the step-down transformers feeding the motor, in the secondary and the primary supply lines, etc., the voltage at the motor terminals drops more or less with increase of load. Thus, if the voltage at the primary terminals of the motor transformer is constant, and such as to give the rated motor voltage at full-load, at no- load the voltage at the motor terminals is higher, but at overload lower by the voltage drop in the internal impedance of the trans- formers.

Thus, if the voltage at the primary terminals of the motor transformer is constant, and such as to give the rated motor voltage at full-load, at no- load the voltage at the motor terminals is higher, but at overload lower by the voltage drop in the internal impedance of the trans- formers. If the voltage is kept constant in the center of distri- bution, the drop of voltage in the line adds itself to the imped- ance drop in the transformers, and the motor supply voltage thus varies still more between no-load and overload. With a drop of ...Radiation / light

If the frequency of the voltage supply pulsates with sufficient rapidity that the motor speed can not appreciably follow the pulsations of frequency, the motor current and torque also pulsate; that is, if the frequency pulsates by the fraction, p, above and b ...Dielectricity / capacity

Hereby then the margin of overload capacity of the motor is reduced, and the characteristic constant of the motor, or the ratio of exciting current to short-circuit current, is in- creased, that is, the motor characteristic made inferior to that given at constant voltage supply, the more so the higher the voltage dro ...Complex quantities

Modern Engineering Reading Prompts
Section titled “Modern Engineering Reading Prompts”- Impedance / reactance: Translate historical opposition terms into modern impedance, admittance, conductance, susceptance, and complex-plane notation.
- Radiation / light: Compare the chapter’s radiation vocabulary with modern electromagnetic radiation, spectral frequency, wavelength, absorption, and illumination engineering.
- Dielectricity / capacity: Check whether the passage treats capacity, condensers, displacement, or dielectric stress as field storage rather than only circuit algebra.
- Complex quantities: Track how Steinmetz preserves geometric rotation and quadrature while translating the same operation into symbolic form.
- Field language: Read for whether field language is mechanical, geometrical, causal, descriptive, or simply a convenient engineering model.
Ether-Field Interpretive Boundary
Section titled “Ether-Field Interpretive Boundary”- Radiation / light: Radiation and wave language can invite ether-field comparison, but source wording, modern radiation theory, and speculative synthesis must stay separated.
- Dielectricity / capacity: A Wheeler-style reading may emphasize dielectric compression, field stress, and stored potential, but this page treats that as interpretation unless Steinmetz explicitly says it.
- Field language: Field-pressure or field-gradient interpretations can be explored here only after the explicit source passage and modern engineering translation are kept distinct.
