Electric Motor Drives is a comprehensive book for seniors, graduates, and practicing engineers. Designed to motivate students and professional engieers alike, book emphasizes a systematic approach to motor drives based on physical insight and practical implementation aspects. DC and AC drives share the same pedagogiczl framework throughout. Present day practice as well as research and development are development are covered.

FEATUREES
- System equations are derived from first principles based on a physical undertanding of the machine. It is therefore distinct from other book in that it does not rely on the reader's memory.
- Each of the motor drives is illustrated with an industrial application in detail at the end of chapters to enable readers to relate theory to practice.
- Current and speed controller designs have been standardized throughout the book to emphasize the commonalith of the drive design.
- Interrelationships between subsystens and the performamnce of the integrated system are derived and illustrated with a large number of simulation results.
- Readers can check the validity of their simulation software by correlationg their findings with the simulation results given in the book.
- Basic concepts are illuster with numerous analysis and design examples.
- Each chapter contains discussion questions to reinforce the reader's understanding, and to help them probe advanced topics indepently with the help of references.
