Industrial Motors & Controls

Electrical Motor Controls for Integrated Systems 5th Edition is the industry-leading reference that covers electrical, motor, and mechanical devices and their use in industrial control circuits.

This textbook provides the knowledge and skills required in an advanced manufacturing environment that integrates mechanical, electrical, and fluid power systems. The content begins with basic electrical and motor theory, builds on circuit fundamentals, and reinforces comprehension through examples of industrial applications. Emphasis is placed on the development of troubleshooting skills throughout the book.

Updated with the latest technology, machines, and controls in the industry, ELECTRIC MOTOR CONTROL, 10E delivers comprehensive coverage and practical insight for anyone who will install, monitor, and/or maintain motor controls.

Written by a veteran electrician with more than 40 years’ experience, this practical guide walks you through the ladder diagrams and control devices of networked monitoring systems. Electrician’s Guide to Control and Monitoring Systems focuses on installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance and includes coverage of the 2008 National Electrical Code.

Effectively introduce the basic principles of motor controls using clear, easy-to-understand language with Herman’s UNDERSTANDING MOTOR CONTROLS, 4E. This reader-friendly approach progresses from common motor control components to applications in control circuits. Thorough explanations and the latest illustrations depict basic types of meters and test equipment for troubleshooting control circuits. A series of hands-on laboratory experiments help readers apply concepts to actual motor control components. These student-friendly experiments start with very simple circuits before progressing to more complicated circuits that involve the use of timing relays and an auto-transformer starter.

This comprehensive reference presents the latest information on electric motors and drives that are used in common industrial applications. The text/workbook covers drive theory and applications, drive programming and installation, testing, and troubleshooting procedures. Special emphasis is placed on troubleshooting skills. It also includes expanded coverage of motor drive application selection. Review questions and expanded paper-and-pencil activities at the end of each chapter provide a solid assessment.
