Electric Motors: Their Action, Control and Application (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Understand how speed, torque, voltage, and flux drive electric motion — a clear, practical guide to how motors work and how to control them for real-world results.

This edition explains the core ideas behind electric motors in a way that’s approachable for engineers, managers, students, and anyone curious about how electric devices convert power into motion. It threads together theory and hands-on application, showing how key quantities interact and how motion is produced and controlled in different motor types. The book emphasizes a unified view of motors and generators, sharing the idea that the same principles apply to both, with practical examples and explanations that connect voltage, current, speed, and torque.

• A practical, step-by-step treatment of speed control, field effects, and how different motor varieties behave
• Concrete examples and calculations that illuminate how theory translates to real machines
• A clear discussion of the relationship between electrical quantities and mechanical output
• An overview of major motor families, from shunt and series to induction and synchronous machines
