Control of Machines is one of the most important functional areas for electrical and mechanical engineers working in industry. In this era of automation and control, every engineer has to acquaint himself on the design installation, and maintenance of control systems. This subject must find its place as a compulsory applied engineering subject in degree and diploma curriculum. Some progressive states and autonomous institutions have already introduced this subject in their curriculum. In this book, static control and programmable controllers have been included keeping in view the latest developments in modern industry. Relay and static control have been dealt with in details. Most of the control circuits included in this book have been taken from Indian industry. A chapter has been devoted to protection of motors and troubleshooting in control circuits. more...

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.The 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.Austin 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. more...
