This handbook should be a useful guide for engineers, designers and equipment specifiers, as well as operators who want to optimize the efficiency and reliability of their electric motor systems. The introductory chapter gives a comprehensive overview of electric motor systems available today, from power supply and controllers to the motor itself and the transmission system. Readers learn the best strategies for avoiding the typical kinds of problems which lead to motor inefficiency or failure. There is also information on how to determine when it makes economic sense to upgrade to an energy-efficient motor, and whether an adjustable-speed drive or other advanced control system gives the results sought for.
