Handbook of Electrical Motors for Integrated Systems: Machine Physics, Variable Speed Drives, Networked Control, and Predictive Maintenance

By: Publishing, Strakeford

Modern electric motors no longer operate as isolated machines. They work inside complex systems of power electronics, digital control, industrial networks, mechanical loads, and maintenance strategies. Handbook of Electrical Motors for Integrated Systems gives you the system-level understanding needed to design, operate, diagnose, and maintain modern drive systems with confidence.
Built for electrical engineering students, industrial maintenance technicians, automation professionals, and facility managers, this practical reference connects machine physics with the technologies surrounding today's motors. Move from electromagnetic foundations and machine construction to induction, synchronous, permanent-magnet, and reluctance machines, then into power electronics, variable-speed drives, vector control, sensors, feedback, and motion control.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
- Understand motor behavior from component and system perspectives
- Apply scalar, vector, direct-torque, and sensorless control concepts
- Work with PLC integration, industrial Ethernet, OPC UA, MQTT, and digital twins
- Evaluate harmonics, power quality, thermal limits, protection, and lifecycle cost
- Diagnose faults using vibration, motor current signatures, thermography, insulation testing, and drive data
- Use condition monitoring to support predictive maintenance
- Approach commissioning, functional safety, isolation, and compliance systematically
Worked examples, engineering relationships, summaries, and review questions reinforce both theory and practical judgment.
Whether you are studying advanced motor systems or solving real industrial drive problems, this handbook helps you understand the complete machine-drive-process chain.
Build deeper motor expertise and stronger system-level troubleshooting skills. Get your copy today and put modern electrical motor technology to work.
