Abstract :
V. Karapetoff: We may say, with fair assurance, that the problem of short circuits in synchronous machinery, and for that matter, in induction machines, will be with us for some time to come. The means so far used for representing these phenomena have been either cumbersome or insufficient, and I believe it is time for us to decide that in the question of short-circuits we ought to go back to the very fundamental physical facts. Let us begin our treatment not with some secondary laws, such as were admirably presented here, but with primary laws in the existence of which we have not a shade of doubt.
