Electric Motor Control 10th Edition by Stephen L. Herman
Quick Navigation

Overview

Updated with the latest technology, machines, and controls in the industry, ELECTRIC MOTOR CONTROL, 10E delivers comprehensive coverage and practical insight for anyone who will install, monitor, and/or maintain motor controls. Concise, self-contained units provide ultimate flexibility, making it easy to match content with teaching and learning needs. Units begin by introducing the simplest of equipment and then help readers build upon their knowledge step by step as they learn how to draw and interpret motor control schematic diagrams. Subsequent units offer detailed coverage of motor control components and how they are connected to form complete control circuits, and the text ends with troubleshooting techniques for real-world practice. New for the Tenth Edition, the instructor companion website offers a wealth of online resources.
