Beschreibung
Most motor-control books stop at the wiring diagram. This one goes all the way - from the physics of a three-phase circuit to a code-compliant, short-circuit-rated panel an inspector will approve. The Industrial Electricity and Motor Controls Handbook is a 577-page working reference for electricians, maintenance and controls technicians, and plant engineers who need answers that are correct on paper and buildable in steel. It moves methodically through electrical fundamentals, transformers and distribution, conductor ampacity and voltage drop, and the full anatomy of a motor branch circuit designed to NEC Article 430 - then into the controls themselves: relays and contactors, ladder logic, across-the-line and reduced-voltage starters, PLCs and industrial networks, and a deep, practical treatment of variable frequency drives and the system effects they introduce. What sets this handbook apart is the disciplines the quick guides skip. You get UL 508A short-circuit current rating (SCCR) worked step by step, NFPA 70E arc-flash and safe-work practice, functional safety and OT cybersecurity for modern plants, and motor protection with condition monitoring and current-signature analysis. Every chapter pairs plain-language explanation with engineered schematics, worked calculations, and clearly flagged code references (NEC 2023 baseline with the key 2026 changes noted). Whether you read it cover to cover to build a foundation or reach for it mid-shift to size a conductor, set an overload, or chase a ground fault, it's built to be the book within arm's reach. What's inside. Electrical fundamentals, three-phase power, transformers, and distribution - the groundwork everything else depends on. Conductor ampacity, voltage drop, and motor branch-circuit design to NEC Article 430. Control circuits, ladder logic, contactors and relays, and across-the-line reduced-voltage motor starters. PLCs, industrial control networks, and variable frequency drives (principles, application, and drive-motor system effects). Industrial control-panel design and UL 508A SCCR, plus NFPA 70E electrical safety and arc-flash. Functional safety, OT cybersecurity, motor protection, and condition monitoring (MCSA). Systems integration, commissioning, and structured troubleshooting. Why this book. Code-grounded, not just conceptual - real NEC/UL/NFPA citations, with the 2026 changes flagged inline. Worked calculations you can reproduce and check - branch circuits, overloads, voltage drop, SCCR. Covers what budget guides omit: SCCR, arc-flash, functional safety, cybersecurity, condition monitoring. Engineered schematics and ladder/one-line diagrams built to be traced, not just glanced at. 577 pages, 16 chapters, plus a formula appendix, 335-term glossary, and full index. Written to be both a learn-it text and a keep-it-at-the-bench reference.
