Modern industrial automation begins with mastering electrical motor control systems.
Whether you're designing motor control circuits, selecting AC and DC drives, configuring Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), programming PLC-based automation, integrating servo systems, troubleshooting industrial equipment, improving energy efficiency, or maintaining manufacturing systems, success depends on understanding electrical machines, power electronics, control theory, instrumentation, and automation—not memorized wiring diagrams or isolated formulas.
Handbook of Electrical Motor Control Systems is a comprehensive engineering reference that bridges the gap between electrical engineering fundamentals and practical industrial motor control. Written with technical depth and real-world application, this handbook guides readers from the principles of electrical machines and control circuits through advanced drive technology, servo systems, PLC programming, motion control, industrial communication networks, motor protection, predictive maintenance, and Industry 4.0 automation.
Rather than treating motor control as separate components, this handbook demonstrates how motors, drives, controllers, sensors, protection devices, and automation systems work together to create reliable, efficient, and intelligent industrial solutions.
Inside this handbook, you'll learn how to:
- Understand the operating principles, characteristics, and applications of AC induction, synchronous, DC, servo, and stepper motors
- Design motor starters, reversing circuits, braking systems, overload protection, and industrial control panels
- Apply AC and DC drive technologies, including Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), soft starters, vector control, direct torque control, and DC drives
- Design PLC-based motor control systems and integrate HMIs, SCADA, industrial communication networks, and automation architectures
- Apply servo systems, motion control, encoders, industrial sensors, and feedback devices
- Analyze motor protection, grounding, fault diagnosis, power quality, harmonics, and electrical safety
- Perform motor sizing, equipment selection, energy optimization, predictive maintenance, and condition monitoring
- Explore Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), smart manufacturing, digital twins, artificial intelligence, and Industry 4.0 technologies
The handbook includes professionally developed engineering illustrations, wiring diagrams, ladder logic examples, control schematics, PLC programming examples, worked examples, troubleshooting procedures, design calculations, reference tables, industry standards, and technical appendices that simplify complex concepts while reinforcing practical engineering principles.
Ideal for:
- Electrical Engineering Students
- Electrical Engineers
- Control Systems Engineers
- Industrial Automation Engineers
- Motor Control Engineers
- Power Systems Engineers
- Mechatronics Engineers
- Instrumentation and Control Engineers
- Manufacturing and Maintenance Engineers
- PLC Programmers
- Industrial Electricians
- Control Panel Designers
- Plant Engineers
- Engineering Consultants
- University Instructors and Researchers
If you're looking for a single, authoritative reference that combines electrical motor fundamentals, AC and DC drive technology, servo systems, PLC programming, industrial automation, motion control, power electronics, instrumentation, motor protection, predictive maintenance, and Industry 4.0 technologies in one comprehensive volume, Handbook of Electrical Motor Control Systems deserves a place on your bookshelf.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
