From the point of view of a user this book covers all aspects of modern
electrical drives. It is aimed at both users, who wish to understand,
design, use, and maintain electrical drives, as well as specialists,
technicians, engineers, and students, who wish to gain a comprehensive
overview of electrical drives.
Jens Weidauer and Richard Messer describe the principles of electrical
drives, their design, and application, through to complex automation
solutions. In the process, they introduce the entire spectrum of drive
solutions available and their main applications.
A special aspect is the
combination of multiple drives to form a drive system, as well as the
integration of drives into automation solutions.
In simple and clear language, and supported with many diagrams, complex
relationships are described and presented in an easy-to-understand way.
The authors deliberately avoid a comprehensive mathematical treatment of
their subject and instead focus on a coherent description of the active
principles and relationships.
As a result, the reader will be in a
position to understand electrical drives as a whole and to solve
drive-related problems in everyday professional life.
