Service Shop School: Electronic Controls for the Motor Technician By Peter T. Kulak, E.E. Reprint of a popular Electrical Apparatus series on motor control troubleshooting. Covers basic electronic theory, components, and the operation, replacement, and repair of controls. As Peter Kulak says in the preface to this book, electronic controls have grown in sophistication over the past few years -- and the rate at which they have done so has been matched only by the rate at which manuals about them have been published. In the field of electric motor maintenance, this has made some control problems more complicated than they really are. Consequently, today's motor technician, when confronted with a straightforward problem, often finds himself with no place to turn for straightforward advice. Service Shop School was written with this dilemma in mind. Specifically, it was written to help technicians decide which malfunctioning controls need to be replaced and which ones can be repaired.

Today's industrial service calls for up-to-date knowledge of electronic technology, including the often-overlooked linear devices, which this book covers clearly and thoroughly. Fewer and fewer people these days understand the fundamentals of linear electronics, a technology that is less glamorous than digital electronics but just as vital. "There remain control applications where the linear device is a better answer than attempting to travel the purely digital route," writes Robert C. Baker in the introduction to this book, but "it becomes more difficult year by year to find engineers and technicians who are properly versed in the use of linear devices." Contributing to the linear device's unglamorous image is the relative difficulty of its application. Digital devices operate in one of only two states -- on or off -- but with linear devices, the range of operating states is infinite. Linear Electronics in Control Systems provides a broad yet concise look at these important devices. Early chapters introduce the reader to discrete solid-state devices and instruments for measuring their characteristics and performance. The second half of the book shows how linear devices are used in control systems. 232 pages; 226 illustrations; hardbound.

Jones, Kevin

Explains the basics of control technology and components, such as relays, contacts, switches, and resistors. From the author of Managing Motors comes this useful guide to electromechanical and electronic motor controls. Beginning with the principles of circuit diagrams, the author explains the basics of control technology and the fundamentals of control components like relays, contacts, switches, and resistors. He then shows how these components and principles come into play in the operation of automatic transfer switches, mechanical and electronic motor starters, motor control centers, and motor circuit protection. 130 pages; 157 illustrations; hardbound.
