This work deals with the principles and characteristics of all types of electric motors likely to be used in modelling and small engineering workshops, together with their applications and operations. It covers topics such as speed control, electric braking, and safety. "This practical workshop guide deals with the principles and characteristics of the wide range of motors likely to be used in small engineering workshops. The topics include: Speed control Electric braking Generators Installation and Safety. Since the publication of the first edition, the book has become a well-established reference source on how motors behave and their applications. Over the years, a lot has happened in the field of motor design. This 2nd edition contains updated information about recent developments in motor types and their control systems, including the installation of VFD (Variable Frequency Drive Units).
