Electricity 4

This volume is the fourth installment of the Electricity 1-4 series and introduces the fundamentals of alternating current and direct current motors. Each motor type is examined closely, with attention to how it works and the strengths and weaknesses that come with it. Readers also meet a broad range of motor controls, both older and modern, with explanations meant to make them easier to follow.

The book then turns to AC motors and the controls that go with them, showing how different control arrangements are matched to different uses. Throughout, references to the National Electrical Code tie the material to on-the-job practice.
