Electrical Motor Controls For Integrated Systems

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.

"Electrical Motor Controls for Integrated Systems", 4th Edition, is the industry-leading reference for electical, motor, and mechanical devices and their use in industrial control circuits. This book begins with basic electrical and motor theory, builds on circuit fundamentals, and reinforces comprehension through examples of industrial applications. Special emphasis is placed on the development of troubleshooting skills throughout the book. The book is a practical resource for technicians working in electical, maintenance, manufacturing, industrial, boiler, and HVAC operators who have some background in electrical theory.

Electrical Motor Controls for Integrated Systems Workbook is designed to reinforce concepts and provide system design activities for the material presented in Electrical Motor Controls for Integrated Systems. The Workbook contains: 20 Tech-Cheks, each composed of multiple choice, completion, and/or matching questions based on the corresponding chapter of the textbook; Over 150 Worksheets, each providing an opportunity to apply concepts and theory to practical design problems; An Appendix of data sheets, charts, and tables for use with the Worksheets.

"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.

Updated to reflect the 2017 National Electrical Code (NEC), this essential pocket guide uses new full-color diagrams, calculations, and quick explanations to provide the most commonly required information on the design, installation, application, and maintenance of motors and controls.
