"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 dries, providing readers with the knowledge to select the right technology for a given job." "The third edition includes additional diagrams and worked examples throughout. Now 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."--BOOK JACKET.

An indispensable resource for electrical technicians and trainees, Electrical Science for Technicians walks readers through the subject in a logical order, providing a historical overview alongside modern electrical theory and practice. You will be guided through the subject in a topic by topic manner with each section building upon the one that came before it. By adding context to the principles of electrical science they become easier to both understand and remember, providing a background in the subject that will remain with you for life. Fully aligned to the 17th edition of the wiring regulations Topic-based approach ensures suitability for both technicians and students Clear objectives outlined at the start and revisited at the end of each chapter as a checklist allow readers to check their learning before moving on

First published in 1920, this comprehensive manual on armature winding and motor repair offers a detailed collection of practical electrical methods to fix motor and generator problems. To be used by maintenance specialists and electrical engineers, Daniel H. Braymer’s compilation of material was obtained through practical engagement in repair shop work, power station work and the maintenance of motors in industrial plants. Full of firsthand experience, the volume will provide answers to those needing assistance in armature winding and many other electrical problems that can occur within the workshop. Chapters in this volume include: Direct Current Windings Alternating Current Windings Repair Shop Methods for Rewinding D-C Armatures Testing Direct-Current Armature Windings Insulating Coils and Slots for D-C and A-C Windings Practical Ways for Reconnecting Induction Motors Inspection and Repair of Motor Starters, Motors and Generators Machine Equipment and Tools Needed in a Repair Shop Republished by Read & Co. Books, Armature Winding and Motor Repair continues to be considered a valuable asset within the subject. It provides a handy guide for any practical repairman looking to enlarge their knowledge of solving electrical problems while also appealing to amateurs just starting in the field.
