Summary
Electromechanical drive systems combine electrical and mechanical processes, considering factors like performance, braking, speed control, and ambient conditions. Based on years of teaching experience, this textbook covers key topics in three parts: mechanical characteristics, electrical motor reviews, and motor selection. Ideal for advanced students and a valuable reference for engineers.
Description
Electromechanical drive systems have both electrical and mechanical processes. Designing these systems involve many factors like steady-state performance, braking, speed control, overloads, ambient conditions, and mechanical coupling. This textbook comprehensively covers the fundamentals of electromechanical drives, combining theory and analytical studies. It is divided into three main parts: mechanical (torques, masses, inertia), electrical (DC, induction, and synchronous machines), and motor selection (rated torque, power, and thermal stress capacity). Aimed at advanced students majoring in electrical or mechanical disciplines, this 15-week course material is based on extensive teaching experience. It includes practical examples, detailed solutions, and drill problems. Additionally, it serves as a valuable reference for design and supervising engineers in various industries.
Key features:
- Core textbook for advanced courses on electric drives or electromechanical drives
- Provides comprehensive coverage of the fundamentals of electromechanical drives
- Treats the key topics through theory and analytical studies that include technical understanding of mechanical characteristics of the electrical motors and the driven machines
- Includes examples taken from practical electromechanical drive systems with detailed solutions and drill problems
