Electric Motor Control 10th Ed

The Electric Motor Control 10th Ed presents an updated and highly practical guide to motor‐control systems, aimed at installing, monitoring, and maintaining such systems in industrial and commercial environments. According to the publisher, it offers “comprehensive coverage and practical insight for anyone who will install, monitor, and/or maintain motor controls.” The text is organized into concise, self-contained units, which begin with the simplest equipment and gradually build in complexity—first teaching readers how to draw and interpret motor control schematic diagrams, then moving into detailed discussions of control components, their interconnections in full circuits, and culminating with troubleshooting methods for real-world application. New in the 10th edition is expanded coverage of recent technologies such as push-buttons and selector switches, relays and contactors, temperature and pressure sensing devices, part-winding starters, and direct-current motors, along with improved schematics and an instructor companion website to support teaching and learning.

Key aspects:

• Practical Learning Approach
• Modular Unit Structure
• Comprehensive Coverage
• Real-World Emphasis
• Industry Relevance

Highlights:

• Enhanced artwork and updated schematic diagrams for clarity.
• Improved instructional design for self-study and classroom use.
• New focus on troubleshooting strategies to build problem-solving skills.
• Companion resources available for instructors (online teaching materials and testing tools).
