With a highly practical approach, Electric Motor Control provides a useful and effective tool for anyone who will install, monitor, and/or maintain motor controls. The book 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. 400 pp.
Features:
Final unit 60 on troubleshooting techniques provides real-life tools for readers.
Updated content includes coverage of Mercury bulb float switches.
Chapter 3 Magnetic Line Voltage Starters has been heavily revised.
Over 30 updated photos and line illustrations.
Visual Aides: Includes updated artwork and schematic diagrams.
Instructions: Step-by-step instructions are given on how to use the voltmeter, ammeter, and ohmmeter when troubleshooting a control circuit.
