Product Description
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.
* Acquire knowledge of and understanding of the capabilities and limitations of motors and drives without struggling through unnecessary maths and theory
* Updated material on the latest and most widely-used modern motors and drives, including brushless servomotors
* New edition includes additional diagrams and worked examples throughout

 A pleasant introduction to the world of electric motors June 9, 1999

For professional reasons I needed to get a clear overview on the fundamentals of electric motors and their drives, without delving into details. This book completely satisfied my requests. More intensively every day software is involved in the design of drives for electric motors. DSP and microcontrollers are the cores of this drives. Software engineers don't need to know the details of functionality of the motors therefore can get a benefit from reading this book in order to understand why some algorithms are implemented in the programs they develop. I found very interesting the explicit intention to explain the fundamentals of electric motors in a non quantitative way: in complicated formulas the essence of reality gets lost. Now, after reading this book, I can say that I have understood how the electric motors work.
Motor basics presently clearly without being buried in math. September 18, 1999

The book presents the key points about how motors function without the labor of all the math. I would suggest this book as required reading prior to taking an electrical engineering class on motors to all undergrads. It will help when they are writing all those equations in one of the electromechanical machine classes. The beauty of the book is that it presents what you "need to walk around with" to understand motor functions.
Excellent material, highly readable, thoroughly enjoyable September 5, 2006

The best book I have read on motors and drives. The narrative explains the concepts clearly, and the mathematics is basic and focused on the important points.
I have been interested in electric automobiles and this book provides an excellent foundation on basic motors and the power drive systems.
I highly recommend this book. Well worth the investment. Top notch for anyone's library.
AWESOME! October 29, 2005

This book, is simply amazing, it teaches the subject of electrical motor in a very simple/accessible and easy to follow way, that i never seen in any other motor book. I cant really prise it enough.. when i was 1st introduced to electric motors, i was soo puzzled..and i was always refered to use those classic electric machinery books, which are rather full of formuals, and lack physical explanations of the machines and their operation.I found this book the best, since it does the job with a very down to earth langauge( like those "for dummies" books).. It starts from level zero.. up to electric motor modelin,electric motor starting, variable speed drives, ..etc. Simply,This book is a good reference to start from.
An excellent review of the field of electric motors January 12, 2004

This has got to be the very best technical book I own. The presentation is very readable and as intriguing as a good novel.It will be simple to pick holes in the material covered because the field itself is huge so motor experts may not find much to interest them. Beginners with some technical background will find the breadth of the content to be excellent. Strongly recommended for anyone, like me, who is not an electrical engineer and has a need to use electric motors in the home workshop.
