This book has been designed to give the reader an understanding of a broad segment of technology dealing with the interrelationship of electrical and mechanical machine elements and their underlying principles of operation. It presents problem-solving techniques that will aid technicians in real-world trouble shooting situations. The book begins with the basic notions of numbers and units of measure, the nature of motion, simple and compound machines, and the physics of work, energy, torque, and power. From these, chapters progress into more complex concepts of power transmission and motion devices, electric circuits, electromagnetic circuits and devices, transformers and power distribution, over current protection sequential process control, and ac and dc electric motors. A new chapter 16, "Concepts of Automatic Control Systems", covers cutting-edge technology that technicians need to know to prepare for tomorrow's workplace. It concludes with a technical terms glossary and appendices featuring reference tables, common symbols, and an overview of maintenance procedures for electro-mechanical devices and components. It is intended for technicians, maintenance mechanics, electricians, and manufacturing engineers. It can serve as a useful text for the students of mechanical and electrical engineering.
