Infos

This book is intended for non-specialist users of electric motors and drives. It fills the gap between specialist textbooks and the more prosaic handbooks which provide little opportunity for the development of insight or understanding. Introductory material on motors and power electronics is presented in the first two chapters. The remainder of the book explores most of the widely-used modern types of motor and drive, including conventional and brushless DC induction motors (mains and inverter-fed), stepping motors, synchronous motors (mains and converter-fed) and reluctance motors.

Inhalt

Part 1 Electric motors: producing rotation; magnetic circuits; torque production; specific loadings and specific output; motional EMF; general properties of electric motors. Part 2 Power electronic converters for motor drives: voltage control - DC output from DC supply; DC from AC - controlled rectification; AC from DC inversion; converter waveforms and acoustic noise; cooling of power switching devices. Part 3 Conventional DC motors: torque production; DC motor - steady-state characteristics; transient behaviour - current surges; shunt, series and compound motors; four quadrant operation and regenerative braking. Part 4 DC motor drives: thyristor DC drives; control arrangements for DC drives; chopper-fed DC motor drives; developments in industrial DC drives; DC servo drives. Part 5 induction motors - rotating field, slip and torque: the rotating magnetic field; torque production; influence of rotor current on flux; stator current-speed characteristics. Part 6 Operating characteristics of induction motors: methods of starting cage motors; run-up stable operating regions; torque-speed curves - influence of rotor parameters; influence of supply voltage on torque-speed curve; generating and braking; speed control; power-faced control and energy optimisation; single-phase induction motors. Part 7 Inverter-fed induction motor drives: torque-speed characteristics - constant V/f operation; control arrangements for inverter-fed drives. Part 8 Stepping motor systems: principle of motor operation; motor characteristics; drive circuits and steady-state characteristics; transient performance. Part 9 Synchronous, switched reluctance and brushless DC drives: synchronous motors; controlled-speed synchronous motor drives; switched reluctance motor drives; brushless DC motors. Part 10 Motor/drive selection: power range for motors and drives; load requirements - torque-speed characteristics; general application considerations.
