Efficient Electric Motor Systems Handbook

This authoritative handbook provides a valuable guide for engineers, designers, and equipment specifiers, as well as operators who want to optimize the efficiency and reliability of their electric motor systems. In the introductory chapters, you will find a comprehensive overview of electric motor systems available today, from power supply and controllers, to the motor itself and the transmission system. You will learn the best strategies for avoiding the typical kinds of problems which lead to motor inefficiency or failure. You will find out how to determine when it makes economic sense to upgrade to an energy efficient motor, and whether an adjustable speed drive or other advanced control system will give you the results you seek.
