This book provides an introductory text which will enable the reader to both appreciate the essential characteristics of stepping motor systems and understand how these characteristics are being exploited in the continuing development of new motors, drives and controllers.

The operation of each component is discussed and explained in detail in order to illustrate the function and action of each component in the composite system. Examples are used wherever possible to illustrate the principles discussed. Diagrammatic illustrations are used profusely throughout the book to make the descriptive text interesting and self-explanatory. Although a large number of books dealing with the theory of control engineering are available, most of them do not deal with the varied range of components used in modern control systems. This book is an attempt to fill this need. It comprehensively covers many typical components of primary interest to the control-system engineer. A number of different types of electrical, electromechanical, electronic, hydraulic and pneumatic control devices, which form integral parts of open-loop and closed-loop control systems, have been presented to enable the students to understand all the types of control systems or equipment that they may encounter in different fields of industry. This book is especially designed to cater to the need of a one-semester course in Control System Components, particularly for the undergraduate students of Instrumentation and Control Engineering. It will also be a highly useful text for the students of Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering during their study of the theory of Control Engineering. This book will teach them about the components required to build practical control systems.

A multicolor edition of Vol.II of A Textbook of Electrical Technology to keep pace with the ever-increasing scope of essential and morden technical information,the syllabi are frequently revised.This often result into compressing established facts to accommodate recent information in the syllabi.Fields of power-electronics and industrial power-conditioners have grown considerably resulting into changed priority of topics related to electrical machines.Switched reluctance-motors tend to threaten the most popular squirrel-cage induction motors due to their increased ruggedness,better performance including controllability and equal ease with which they suit rotary as well as linear-motion-applications.

For Mechnaical Engginering Students of Indian Universities.It is also available in 4 Individual Parts

The American Society for Testing and Materials published the first test standard for plastics in 1937. These 21 papers presented at an ASTM symposium held in November 1998, while demonstrating how sophisticated test standards have become, also address their limitations. Papers are organized by the m

"Automated Lighting-Technology, Applications, and Design" is a comprehensive text covering everything you will need to know as a working or aspiring lighting professional about automated lighting fixtures, systems, how they are used and design issues you will face. It is written in clear, easy-to-understand language but includes enough detailed information that the most experienced technician and engineer will appreciate and benefit from reading. Subjects covered include the history of automated lighting, DC and AC electricity, basic electronics, power supplies, digital electronics, electro-mechanical systems, optical systems (including dichroic filters, reflectors, lenses, and more), lamp technology, lighting effects (including color mixing, glass gobos, and more), data distribution systems, DMX, RDM, and ACN. State-of-the-art automated lighting fixtures in various applications including theatre, television, concert/touring, and permanent installations are discussed and special design issues are addressed. The text is amply illustrated with drawings and pictures. The newest technology in automated lighting--"digital" lighting or pixel-based automated lighting projection--is also covered in detail. This book is the antithesis of a reference manual or user manual. It is entertaining and educational with lots of graphic illustrations and easy-to-understand concepts. It's the most fun you can have without sitting behind a console.

Presenting current issues in electric motor design, installation, application, and performance, this second edition serves as the most authoritative and reliable guide to electric motor utilization and assessment in the commercial and industrial sectors. Covering topics ranging from motor energy and efficiency to computer-aided design and equipment selection, this reference assists professionals in all aspects of electric motor maintenance, repair, and optimization. It has been expanded by more than 40 percent to explore the most influential technologies in the field including electronic controls, superconducting generators, recent analytical tools, new computing capabilities, and special purpose motors.

This introductory textbook on engineering system instrumentation emphasizes sensors, transducers, actuators, and devices for component interconnection. The book deals with instrumenting an engineering system through the incorporation of suitable sensors, actuators, and associated interface hardware including filters, amplifiers and other signal modifiers. In view of the practical considerations, design issues, and industrial techniques that are presented throughout the book, and in view of the simplified and snap-shot style presentation of more advanced theory and concepts, it also serves as a useful reference for engineers, technicians, project managers, and other practicing professionals in industry and in research laboratories.
