Experienced product designers are increasingly expected to be adept at incorporating a range of components into their designs. Students and experimenters too need to look beyond basic circuits and devices to achieve adequate design solutions. For those experienced in engineering design, this is the guide to electric motors. This book will allow engineers and designers to marry the technologies they know about with motor technology, and hence to incorporate motors into their products. Of the many good books on motors, such as Electric Motors and Drives by Hughes, none offer the engineering professional a tailored guide to motors taking into account their expertise. This book fills that gap. Irving Gottlieb is a leading author of many books for practising engineers, technicians and students of electronic and electrical engineering. - Practical approach with minimum theory - Covers a core area ignored by many electronics texts - Shows how to incorporate motors into electronic products

Electric Motor Drives and Its Applications with Simulation Practices provides comprehensive coverage of the concepts of electric motor drives and their applications, along with their simulation using MATLAB and other software tools. The book helps engineers and students improve their software skills by learning to simulate various electric drives and applications and assists with new ideas in the simulation of electrical, electronics and instrumentations systems. Covering power electronic converter fed drives and simulation model building using all possible software as well as the operation and relevant applications discussed, the book provides a number of examples and step-by-step procedures for successful implementation. Intended for engineers, students and research scholars in industry who are working in the field of power electronics and drives, this book provides a brief introduction to simulation software under different environments. - Provides an in-depth analysis of Electric motors and drives, specifically focused on practical approaches - Includes simulations of electric drives using best proven software tools like MATLAB and PSIM - Details step-by-step approaches for creating and applying simulation of electric drives

The reduction of energy consumption through improvements in energy efficiency has become an important goal for all countries, in order to improve the efficiency of the economy, to increase energy supply security, and to reduce the emissions of CO and other pollutants caused by power· generation. 2 Electric motors use over half of all electricity consumed in developed countries. Typically 60-80% of the electricity which is used in the industrial sector and about 35% of the electricity used in the commercial sector in the European Union is consumed by motors. In industry, a motor consumes an annual quantity of electricity which corresponds to approximately 5 times its purchase price, throughout its whole life of aroun~ 12 to 20 years. Motors are by far the most important type of electric load. They are used in all sectors and in a wide range of applications, namely the following: fans, compressors, pumps, mills, winders, elevators, transports, home appliances, and office equipment, etc. It is their wide use that makes motor drive systems one of the main targets to achieve significant energy savings. As motors are the largest USers of electrical energy, even small efficiency improvements will produce very large energy savings.
