Electrical Motor Controls Handbook for Integrated Systems

By: Linder, Martin

Modern motor control is no longer just about starting and stopping a motor. Today's systems combine electrical power, drives, PLCs, safety devices, industrial networks, feedback systems, and supervisory software-and understanding how those pieces work together is essential for anyone working in industrial automation.Electrical Motor Controls Handbook for Integrated Systems gives technicians, electricians, engineering students, controls professionals, and maintenance personnel a practical foundation for understanding, designing, commissioning, and troubleshooting modern motor-control systems.
Instead of treating motors, drives, PLCs, and automation as separate subjects, this handbook connects them into one complete system.
Inside, you'll learn how to: Understand three-phase motors, DC motors, specialty motors, torque-speed behavior, and motor selectionWork with contactors, relays, overloads, pushbuttons, interlocks, starters, and ladder logicApply soft starters and variable frequency drives, including V/Hz, vector control, braking, harmonics, and fault diagnosisUnderstand encoders, resolvers, servo systems, stepper motors, and closed-loop controlIntegrate motors with PLCs, Modbus, EtherNet/IP, Profinet, EtherCAT, and intelligent MCCsWork with SCADA, HMI systems, alarms, historian data, and predictive maintenanceUnderstand arc-flash protection, lockout/tagout, safety relays, safety PLCs, and Safe Torque OffDiagnose electrical, mechanical, communication, and power-quality faults systematicallyPlan integrated motor-control systems from component selection through commissioningWith twenty-nine chapters organized into ten progressive sections, diagrams, practical explanations, chapter summaries, glossary material, and quick-reference appendices, this handbook bridges traditional motor-control theory with today's connected industrial automation environment.If you work with industrial motors, controls, automation, or maintenance systems, add this integrated reference to your technical library today.
