This book is designed for the electrical professional who needs to know motor control from the practical viewpoint. It is designed to introduce basic controls then build to the more complex controls for various motors and various applications. It is designed for a troubleshooter who needs to know not only modern controls but older controls that are still in use. The HOW and WHY controls are designed to perform the desired operations are important concepts to be understood. Along with motor controls of all types, motors are analyzed to provide the reader with the proper application for a particular need. Matching system needs with motor characteristics and capabilities is easier with foundational knowledge of motor theory. Use of the National Electrical Code is used to acquaint readers with how to install and maintain motor systems. 448 pp.Features:
