Electric Motors and Their Controls - An Introduction

Zusatztext ` . . . fascinating discourse.' ` . . . space is not wasted in this book! and the coverage is lucid! brief and instructive.' `A non-technical reader could gain useful knowledge from this book.' Times Higher Education Supplement Klappentext This is an introductory work explaining the principles! construction! and use of electric motors and their associated drive controls. It starts from basic physics and progresses to discuss state-of-the-art topics such as piezoelectric motors and vector control. It is largely non-mathematical in its approach and provides an uncluttered overview of the subject! easily accessible to beginning students in electrical and electronic engineering as well as engineers and scientists from other disciplines. This authoritative text is fully illustrated with precise! clear diagrams and photographs. Zusammenfassung This book covers microprocessor-controlled power electronic drives, focusing in particular on the controol and use of low- and medium-power motors. Such drives have applications in the motion control of robots, computer peripherals, and numerically controlled machines. Inhaltsverzeichnis How are electric motors used?; Physical principles of various types of motor; From physics to engineering; Classical motor-control technology; Power electronics and modern control methods; Small motors and the info-society; Appendix I & II; Epilogue; Index.
