Charles Trout, longtime chairman of NEC Panel 12 and author of Electrical Installation and Inspection and the National Electrical Installation Standard on Electric Motors and Controls (NECA) has written a one-of-a-kind summary of electric motor and control concepts. This highly illustrated text will prove essential for in-service electricians as well as assisting instructors with a textual overview for short courses on the topic.

Electrical Motor Controls for Integrated Systems continues the long tradition of technical content presented in a user-friendly format. A comprehensive overview of the control industry is augmented with practical applications used in the field. With new, large detailed illustrations, contemporary photographs, and informative factoids, the premier motor control text remains the first choice of electrical training programs.

"This book will introduce the reader to a broad range of motor types and control systems. It provides an overview of electric motor operation, selection, installation, control and maintenance. The text covers Electrical Code references applicable to the installation of new control systems and motors, as well as information on maintenance and troubleshooting techniques. It includes coverage of how motors operate in conjunction with their associated control circuitry. Both older and newer motor technologies are examined. Topics covered range from motor types and controls to installing and maintaining conventional controllers, electronic motor drives and programmable logic controllers." -- Publisher's description.

Your students will be able to install, troubleshoot, and test electrical motors like the pros! UNDERSTANDING MOTOR CONTROLS, 2ND Edition uses a real-world systems approach to learning motor control devices. Starting with basic control circuits and components, this book covers all must-know applications and procedures to ensure reader success in the more complex topics. From development and installation to testing and troubleshooting, UNDERSTANDING MOTOR CONTROLS, 2ND Edition prepares future industrial electricians with a solid foundation in basic control circuits, sensing devices, solid-state controls, variable speed drives, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and more.

Electric Motor Control: DC, AC, and BLDC Motors introduces practical drive techniques of electric motors to enable stable and efficient control of many application systems, also covering basic principles of high-performance motor control techniques, driving methods, control theories and power converters. Electric motor drive systems play a critical role in home appliances, motor vehicles, robotics, aerospace and transportation, heating ventilating and cooling equipment’s, robotics, industrial machinery and other commercial applications. The book provides engineers with drive techniques that will help them develop motor drive system for their applications. Includes practical solutions and control techniques for industrial motor drive applications currently in use Contains MATLAB/Simulink simulation files Enables engineers to understand the applications and advantages of electric motor drive systems

Written for non-specialist users of electric motors and drives, this book explains how electric drives work and compares the performance of the main systems, with many examples of applications. The author's approach - using a minimum of mathematics - has made this book equally popular as an outline for professionals and an introductory student text. * First edition (1990) has sold over 6000 copies. Drives and Controls on the first edition: 'This book is very readable, up-to-date and should be extremely useful to both users and o.e.m. designers. I unhesitatingly recommend it to any busy engineer who needs to make informed judgements about selecting the right drive system.' New features of the second edition: * New section on the cycloconverter drive. * More on switched relectance motor drives. * More on vector-controlled induction motor drives. * More on power switching devices. * New 'question and answer' sections on common problems and misconceptions. * Updating throughout. Electric Motors and Drives is for non-specialist users of electric motors and drives. It fills the gap between specialist textbooks (which are pitched at a level which is too academic for the average user) and the more prosaic 'handbooks' which are filled with useful detail but provide little opportunity for the development of any real insight or understanding. The book explores most of the widely-used modern types of motor and drive, including conventional and brushless d.c., induction motors (mains and inverter-fed), stepping motors, synchronous motors (mains and converter-fed) and reluctance motors.
