This highly practical approach to a difficult
topic begins by introducing the simplest of equipment and
then builds upon this knowledge, step-by-step, enabling readers to learn
how to draw and interpret motor control schematic diagrams. Subsequent
units provide useful information on motor control components and how
they are connected to form complete control circuits. Thoroughly
updated, this edition features an all-new unit on variable frequency
drives, expanded coverage of programmable logic controllers (PLCs), plus
the latest information on micro limit switches, brushless exciters for
synchronous motors, and vacuum contactors. New information on the
similarities and differences between NEMA and IEC control components is
also included. One of the most reader-friendly, yet technically
complete, introductions to modern motor theory and applications
available anywhere, the book is particularly well suited for use in
journeyman electrician training courses or self-study. To use it
successfully, readers are assumed to have prior knowledge of basic
electricity concepts. 368 pp.
Features:
Topics are organized into short, stand-alone units with specific learning
objectives, making it easy to read and learn from the book or use it as an
on-the-job reference.
Numerous control schematics and wiring diagrams are included to help those
new to the world of motor control in understanding and interpreting the
function of a control circuit.
Practical problem-solving gets readers thinking about the process of
drawing and reading control schematics, leading to an understanding of the
basic concepts needed to troubleshoot control systems.
Many different types of control circuits are introduced and illustrated,
providing readers with a complete understanding of how control components
operate as well as their intended uses.
A glossary and handy appendices provide further explanation of essential
terms as well as servicing and troubleshooting procedures.
