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

FEATURES
- System equations are derived from first principles based on a
   physical understanding of the machine. It is therefore distince
   from other books in that it does not rely on the readerls
   memory.
- Each of the motor drives in 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 commonality of the
   drive desing.
- Interrelationships between subsystems and the performance 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
   correlating theirfindings with the simulation results given in the
   book.
- Basic concepts are illustrated with numerous analysis and desing
   examples.
- Each chapter contains discussion questions to reinforce the
   reader's understanding, and to help them probe advanced
   topics independently with the help of references.
