Книга на английском языке
The fifth edition has been completely revised, updated and expanded. Modest changes to Chapter 2 now allow all of the most important converter topologies to be brought together, and the treatment of inverters now includes more detail of the PWM switching waveforms. The middle chapters dealing with the fundamentals of d.c. and induction motors and their drives have required only a few minor additions, whereas major changes and additions have been made to Chapters 8 and 9.
The new Chapter 8 is devoted exclusively to the treatment of Field Oriented control, reflecting its increasing importance for both induction and synchronous motor drives. The principles of control are explained in a unique physicallybased way that builds on the understanding of motor behaviour developed earlier in the book: we believe that the largely non-mathematical treatment will dispel much of the mystique surrounding what is often regarded as a difficult topic.
