Description
Electric Motors and Drives is intended for non-specialist users of electric
motors and drives, filling the gap between math and theory-based academic
textbooks and the more prosaic 'handbooks', which provide useful detail but
little opportunity for the development of real insight and understanding.
The book explores all of the widely-used modern
types of motor and drive, including conventional and brushless D.C., induction
motors and servo drives, providing readers with the knowledge to select the
right technology for a given job.
The third edition includes additional diagrams
and worked examples throughout.
New topics include digital interfacing and
control of drives, direct torque control of induction motors and current-fed
operation in DC drives.
The material on brushless servomotors has also
been expanded. Austin Hughes' approach, using a minimum of math, has established
Electric Motors and Drives as a leading guide for electrical engineers and
mechanical engineers, and the key to a complex subject for a wider readership,
including technicians, managers and students.
Audience
Professional/student Electrical engineering Electrical and mechanical engineers
and technicians requiring a working knowledge of motors and drives (but not a
mathematical or academic level of knowledge)
Students of electrical and mechanical engineering
seeking an accessible introduction.
