The variable frequency drive industry is growing rapidly, and it is now more important than ever for technicians and maintenance personnel to keep VFD installations running smoothly! Part of the Electrician's Technical Reference Series, this field guide is ideal for gaining access to information about variable frequency drives, including how they work, how to apply them, and how to troubleshoot them. A hands-on reference, Variable Frequency Drives contains sufficient information for a technician to troubleshoot any AC variable frequency drive, virtually eliminating the need for manufacturer-specific manuals! Both industrial and commercial variable frequency drive applications are addressed, with discussion of installation issues, troubleshooting, metering, sizing and selection, energy savings with variable frequency drives, and more. A final chapter preps readers for future developments in variable frequency drive technology, while appendices feature addresses of relevant organizations and a bibliography of suggested readings..

AC/DC tells the little-known story of how Thomas Edison wrongly bet in the fierce war between supporters of alternating current and direct current The savagery of this electrical battle can hardly be imagined today. The showdown between AC and DC began as a rather straightforward conflict between technical standards, a battle of competing methods to deliver essentially the same product, electricity. But the skirmish soon metastasized into something bigger and darker. In the AC/DC battle, the worst aspects of human nature somehow got caught up in the wires; a silent, deadly flow of arrogance, vanity, and cruelty. Following the path of least resistance, the war of currents soon settled around that most primal of human emotions: fear. AC/DC serves as an object lesson in bad business strategy and poor decision making. Edison's inability to see his mistake was a key factor in his loss of control over the operating system for his future inventions–not to mention the company he founded, General Electric..

From the moment they open Advanced AC Electronics: Principles and Applications, readers will become actively involved in learning how to apply AC circuit techniques to electronics circuits that are interesting and actually do something useful! Rather than presenting AC electronics as a series of seemingly magical rules and incantations, this book integrates AC circuit theory tools with electronics, interweaves topics as needed, and introduces the use of circuit analysis tools on a just-in-time basis to support development of electronics circuits. It engages readers in applying circuit theory to a wide variety of passive and active electronics that respond to a sinusoidal signal with both a change in magnitude and a shift in the sine wave's phase. Immediately upon introduction, each technique is applied to a host of examples, including: commercial electrical power production and distribution, industrial motor performance and control, audio systems, instrumentation, radio frequency, and communications circuits. Motors, rf and audio cables, loudspeakers, thyristors, transition and op amp amplifiers are also introduced early on, capturing attention while guiding readers in their examination of real-world responses to sinusoids. Level and rigor make Advanced AC Electronics an ideal choice for programs accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)..

Electricity 2: Devices, Circuits and Materials, 7th Edition focuses readers' attention on alternating current principles, with detailed coverage of inductive reactance, capacitive reactance, and impedance presented in a reader-friendly manner that is ideal for newcomers to the field. Building on the foundation established in Electricity 1, readers will examine numerous types of alternating current circuits on the way to developing a solid understanding of the concepts of power, power factor, and power factor correction. Additional sample problems have been incorporated into this edition, providing opportunities to apply concepts in realistic troubleshooting situations. All-new unit summaries have been added to guide learning and mastery of important AC principles, and all information is now consistent with provisions specified in the current National Electric CodeÒ. .
