A three-phase motor will not start. The disconnect is closed, the overload has not tripped, and a production line is down while the drawings taped to the panel door go unread, because nobody on shift can trace a rung through them.

Industrial electrical knowledge usually arrives in fragments. A theory course here, a code table there, a drive manual, a wiring habit picked up from whoever was on shift that night. None of those fragments survive contact with a live fault, because a fault does not respect the boundary between power distribution, control logic, and the motor itself.

This handbook rebuilds the subject as one continuous chain, from the incoming service to the last pilot light on the panel door. Thirty chapters in nine parts run in the order a real system does: foundations, drawings and control logic, motors, motor control equipment, electronic motor control, automation, installation and commissioning, maintenance and troubleshooting, and two applied projects. Two hundred and forty-eight technical figures carry the schematics, ladder diagrams and one-line drawings; calculations are worked line by line with units tracked; and expected readings are stated alongside the tests that produce them.

What the book equips you to do:

Trace any control circuit rung by rung and predict the state of every contact before a meter goes on it
Size conductors, protective devices and control transformers using calculations shown in full
Wire a starter, a reversing circuit, a two-speed circuit and an emergency stop function, and explain why every interlock is there
Read nameplates, one-line diagrams, ladder diagrams and wiring diagrams as one connected description of the same machine
Set up and commission a drive with a working understanding of what each parameter changes
Isolate faults by measurement, using symptom, test, expected value and correction tables

Topics covered:

Electrical quantities and power; test instruments and measurement practice; single-phase and three-phase systems; transformers and control power; power distribution and system grounding; conductors, overcurrent protection, coordination and short-circuit ratings; electrical safety, arc flash and energy isolation; symbols, diagrams and ladder logic; converting a process requirement into working control logic; induction, synchronous, direct current, permanent-magnet and servo motors; nameplates and motor selection; motor testing and failure modes; disconnects, contactors, starters, overload relays, timers, pilot devices and sensors; complete control circuits including reversing, jogging, two-speed, interlocking and emergency stop; reduced-voltage starting; soft starters; variable frequency drives; programmable controllers and input-output wiring; operator interfaces, industrial networks and motor control centres; functional safety; control panel design; testing, commissioning and acceptance; preventive and predictive maintenance; and systematic troubleshooting.

Two capstone projects close the book. A lead-lag pump station and a conveyor line with a drive and a rated safety function are each carried from the process description through the sequence of operation, the ladder design, device selection, wiring, commissioning, and a seeded fault found by measurement.

Written for industrial and maintenance electricians, controls and automation technicians, plant and facilities engineers, apprentices working toward licensure, and engineering and mechatronics students. The treatment follows United States installation practice with international cross-reference, and code-dependent values are edition-stamped so you can verify them against the edition adopted in your jurisdiction.

Open it at the chapter that matches the panel in front of you, work the example with a meter in your hand, and keep it where the drawings are.

Store description

**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
