Handbook of Electrical Motor Control Systems

This handy reference is intended for practicing electrical design engineers and technicians engaged in daily practical work. It contains several electrical values necessary for the design of control systems. It also includes essential basic fundamentals and the circuitry commonly encountered while designing control circuits. The book has been compiled bearing in mind safety aspects and international practice, as recommended by national and international agencies. The salient features include: importance has been given to the three-phase induction motor (squirrel cage); tables, fundamental principles and useful information on materials have been included; brief descriptions of various types of motors and commonly encountered faults are given; a series of typical circuit diagrams are included along with a brief description of their working; and design guidelines for control cabinets, panels, etc. are given.
