The subject of motor controls is one of the major areas of
concern for industrial electricians, and this book prepares readers for work in
the industry. A “real-world” systems approach is applied to all aspects of
motor control, including basic control circuits, sensing devices, solid-state
controls, variable speed drives, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and
more. “Must know” applications, procedures, and operations are stressed
throughout. Coverage concludes with a series of practical laboratory exercises
to help provide an excellent knowledge base of important installation, testing,
and troubleshooting procedures.
Features:
teaches readers how to recognize standard NEMA symbols and familiarizes
them with important information on motor installation that is in accordance
with the 2005 National Electrical Code®
clear explanations of the logic of control systems begins with very simple
control circuits and progresses to more advanced circuits for organized
learning
covers the basic control components such as limit switches, flow switches,
and pressure switches, that readers are likely to encounter throughout their
work in the industry
introduces the basics of programmable logic controllers and how they
operate, as well as how a standard relay control system can be converted for
loading into a PLC
