{"product_id":"9780080993683","title":"Electric Motors and Drives: Fundamentals, Types and Applications","description":"Electric Motors and Drives is intended for non-specialist users of electric motors and drives, filling the gap between maths- and theory-based academic textbooks and the more prosaic 'handbooks', which provide useful detail but little opportunity for the development of real insight and understanding. The book explores all of the widely-used modern types of motor and drive, including conventional and brushless D.C., induction motors and servo drives, providing readers with the knowledge to select the right technology for a given job.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe third edition includes additional diagrams and worked examples throughout. New topics include digital interfacing and control of drives, direct torque control of induction motors and current-fed operation in DC drives. The material on brushless servomotors has also been expanded.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAustin Hughes' approach, using a minimum of maths, has established Electric Motors and Drives as a leading guide for electrical engineers and mechanical engineers, and the key to a complex subject for a wider readership, including technicians, managers and students.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcquire knowledge of and understanding of the capabilities and limitations of motors and drives without struggling through unnecessary maths and theory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpdated material on the latest and most widely-used modern motors and drives, including brushless servomotors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew edition includes additional diagrams and worked examples throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078586253552,"sku":"9780080993683","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780080993683_p0.jpg?v=1763638169","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780080993683","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
