Description
Recent years have brought substantial developments in electrical drive technology, with the appearance of highly rated, very-high-speed
power-electronic switches, combined with microcomputer control systems.
This popular textbook has been thoroughly revised and updated
in the light of these changes. It retains its successful formula of teaching through worked examples, which are put in context with
concise explanations of theory, revision of equations and discussion of the engineering implications. Numerous problems are also provided,
with answers supplied.
The third edition includes enhanced coverage of power-electronic systems and new material on closed-loop control,
in addition to thorough treatment of electrical machines.
Audience:
Undergraduates on electrical and electronic engineering degree courses.
