About this ebook
Electric Motors and Drives: Fundamentals, Types and Applications provides information regarding the inner workings of motor and drive system. The book is comprised of nine chapters that cover several aspects and types of motor and drive systems. Chapter 1 discusses electric motors, and Chapter 2 deals with power electronic converters for motor drives. Chapter 3 covers the conventional d.c. motors, while Chapter 4 tackles inductions motors – rotating field, slip, and torque. The book also talks about the operating characteristics of induction motors, and then deals with the inverter-fed induction motor drives. The stepping motor systems; the synchronous, switched reluctance, and brushless d.c. drives; and the motor/drive selection are also covered. The text will be of great use to individuals who wish to familiarize themselves with motor and drive systems.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is brilliant. It isn't stylish, it's not lavishly illustrated, it isn't even a riveting read. It is, however, plain old fashioned lucid. Hughes is or was an academic, and if he lectured as well as he writes, his students understand electric motors. He also speaks with authority. The diagrams are small, mostly simple black-and-white drawings, but they fit in with the text,It isn't for everyone though. You'll want at least A level physics to understand it and (despite his protestations) it is fairly mathematical.By far the best book I've read in this subject area for a while
