Electric motors and drives : fundamentals, types and applications / by Austin Hughes; Bill Drury

By: Hughes, AustinContributor(s): Drury, BillMaterial type: TextTextPublication details: Oxford : Newnes, c 2013, 2014Edition: 4th edDescription: xi, 436 pages, ill. 8 color plates ; 23 cmISBN: 9789351071525 (pbk); 9780080983325 (pbk)Subject(s): Electric motors | Electric drivingDDC classification: 621.46
Contents:
1. Electric motors : the basics -- 2. Introduction to power electronic converters for motor drives -- 3. Conventional D.C. motors -- 4. D.C. motor drives -- 5. Induction motors : rotating field, slip and torque -- 6. Induction motors : operation from 50/60 Hz supply -- 7. Variable frequency operation of induction motors -- 8. Inverter-fed induction motor drives -- 9. Synchronous and brushless permanent magnet machines and drives -- 10. Stepping and switched-reluctance motors -- 11. Motor/drive selection.
Summary: Electric Motors and Drives is intended for non-specialist users of electric motors and drives, filling the gap between maths- 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 maths, 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. * Acquire knowledge of and understanding of the capabilities and limitations of motors and drives without struggling through unnecessary maths and theory * Updated material on the latest and most widely-used modern motors and drives, including brushless servomotors * New edition includes additional diagrams and worked examples throughout.
