Understanding Motor Controls

Designed for students with no previous experience in motor controls, Herman's UNDERSTANDING MOTOR CONTROLS, 4E introduces basic principles and guides readers from learning about common motor control components to understanding how to use components in motor control circuits. Numerous up-to-date illustrations depict troubleshooting circuits while thorough explanations detail basic types of meters and test equipment to troubleshoot control circuits. An updated chapter on installing motors corresponds with the National Electrical Code and clearly illustrates how to select overload heater sizes. Using actual motor control components, hands-on laboratory experiments enable students to practice the concepts they've learned. These student-friendly experiments start with simple circuits before advancing to more complicated circuits involving timing relays and auto-transformer starters.

Glossary.

Herman/Seiler's UNDERSTANDING MOTOR CONTROLS, 5th Edition, is designed for students with no previous experience in motor controls and introduces basic principles for using components in motor control circuits. Illustrations depict the building of complicated circuits and troubleshooting skills with basic types of meters and test equipment. While the use of modern equipment is highlighted throughout the book, legacy types of timers and other motor control devices are also included for reference. Updates include the most recent edition of the National Electrical Code®, clearly illustrating how to select overloads and protect the control circuitry. Motor control components and hands-on laboratory experiments enable students to practice concepts, starting with simple circuits and advancing to more complicated topics involving timing relays, programmable devices and auto-transformer starters.
