Third Edition
By
Austin Hughes, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Leeds, UK
Description
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.
Audience
Professional/student
Electrical engineering
