Electric Motors & Motor Controls

By Jeff Keljik - Second Edition

Electric Motors & Motor Control is designed for electrical professionals and students who need to understand electric motor controls from a practical perspective.

By first introducing basic controls, and then progressing to more complex controls for various motors and various applications, Electric Motors and Motor Controls, 2E provides a strong foundational knowledge of motors and motor control theory.

Coverage includes the latest information on modern controls, while still including older controls that are still in use. The National Electrical Code® is cited throughout the book to acquaint readers with how to install and maintain motors and motor control systems effectively and safely.

Features:

• logically-sequenced topics, with each chapter building on information learned in the chapter before

• thorough coverage of why motors work and why they may fail

• comprehensive coverage of basic control schemes and how they are created

• NEC® requirements in the most commonly-used scenarios

• applications of both new and traditional electrical motor controls and methods
