From the Back Cover
All the details you need to get the best performance from any electric drive Electric Drives: Concepts and Applications. In this complete guide, an international expert taps the latest developments in the field to show you how to get optimal performance from any electric drive. Electric Drives shows you exactly how to: get the fastest dynamic response, the most accurate speed control, and more with thyristor power converters; design controllers to improve the static and dynamic behavior of the drive; maximize the use of microprocessors in electric drives; improve the dynamics of conventional systems with closed-loop systems; make the right choice with an extensive comparative analysis that details the common technical problems of a wide variety of drives. Plus, this ideal reference reviews elementary theory of electrical machines and conventional speed control methods (without deep mathematical analysis), and presents detailed discussions of closed-loop control and the dynamics of drives.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Outstanding Book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: ELECTRIC DRIVES: CONCEPTS AND APPLICATIONS (Paperback)
I found this book to be superbly written. The author covers all aspects of thyrister controlled converters and inverters. He has tremendous knowledge of the subjet.After reading this book, I've come to completely understand particular characteristics of electric motors. Some examples are: the four quadrant operation of motors; dynamic and regenerative braking, and the difference between the two; and voltage control of motors. Although I've worked with wound rotor motors I've never seen one with a "slip power energy recovery scheme". This book details such schemes which is very interesting. The cycloconverter is shown throughout this book which I find extremely interesting. Siemens uses the cycloconverter in their marine electric propulsion systems. I now know more about the cycloconverter. This is one outstanding book.

Not a bad book,

This review is from: ELECTRIC DRIVES: CONCEPTS AND APPLICATIONS (Paperback)
Certainly not a bad reference book. However, if you'd like a primer on variable frequency drives, I would recommend Electric Motors and Drives: Fundamentals, Types and Applications by Austin Hughes.
