Electric Motors and Drives Fundamentals Types and Applications by Austin Hughes. The book explores most of the widely used modern types of motors and drives, including conventional and brushless d.c., induction motors (mains and inverter-fed), stepping motors, synchronous motors The aim throughout is to provide the reader with an understanding of how each motor and drive system works, in the belief that it is only by knowing what should happen that informed judgments and sound comparisons can be made. Given that the book is aimed at readers from a range of disciplines, introductory material on motors and power electronics is clearly necessary, and this is presented in the first two chapters. Many of these basic ideas crop up frequently throughout the book.
