Glen A. Mazur & William J. Weindorf

This is by far the best book we've ever seen on the subject of electric motor control and motor drives.  We intend to make this publication available to all of our Kilowatt Classroom attendees.  This book provides a wealth of information. Experienced electricians will appreciate the technical insights this publication provides and individuals who are just beginning their career in electric motor control can be assured of getting off to a proper and safe start.

This completely new text/workbook provides in-depth coverage of electric power systems, electric motor types and performance characteristics, and basic motor control, all of which is needed to understand more complex motor drive functions.  The book then presents the theory, operation, and testing of key semiconductor control components such as diodes, transistors, SCR's, and IGBT's, and describes in detail the operation of these components in various types of drives including: DC Motor Drives, AC Soft-Starts, and AC Variable Frequency Drives.  Additionally there is concise information on drive applications, programming, and troubleshooting along with detailed reference data.

Book contains a CD-ROM,  Designed as a self-study aid, it features Quick Quizzes, an Illustrated Glossary, Test Tool Connections, plus Reference Material that is accessed through Internet links to various sources. An added bonus to a fine publication.
