Your students will be able to install, troubleshoot, and test electrical motors like the pros! UNDERSTANDING MOTOR CONTROLS, 2ND Edition uses a real-world systems approach to learning motor control devices. Starting with basic control circuits and components, this book covers all must-know applications and procedures to ensure reader success in the more complex topics. From development and installation to testing and troubleshooting, UNDERSTANDING MOTOR CONTROLS,2ND Edition prepares future industrial electricians with a solid foundation in basic control circuits, sensing devices, solid-state controls, variable speed drives, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and more.
