This book examines the properties of power semiconductor devices and their application in controlled rectifiers, inverters, and cycloconverters. It includes a complete analysis of controlled rectifier, chopper, inverter, and cycloconverter circuits, as well as an analysis of solid-state control of dc and ac motors.
overload protective and relay devices, standard control circuit symbols and diagrams, manual DC and AC starters, automatic DC starters
The objective of this textbook is to give and insight into the state-of-the-art of the technology of the complete power system control field. thus various parts in such a system will be described following the different topics stated in the table of contents. The overall system aspect will, hoever, be the main issue throughout all this materials.
in the sisxties a control engineer had to master analog computing technology because of its use in analog computers in the simulation of control systems and as the major tool for computations.
This text describes the role of microprocessors in the instrumentation and control of mechanical and process equipment.
