Book Info
Text provides a fundamental understanding of the installation, operation, and troubleshooting of Variable-Speed Drives (VSDs). Includes coverage of key topics such as control wiring, operating modes, braking types, automatic restart, harmonics, electrostatic discharge, and EMC/EMI issues. For continuing professional development for engineers. Softcover.
From the Back Cover
* Includes practical coverage of key topics such as troubleshooting and control wiring
* Readers will also gain a thorough understanding of the problems that can be introduced by VSDs
* The importance of VSDs in applications such as process control and materials handling gives this title a wider audience than just electrical power engineers
This book gives readers a fundamental understanding of the installation, operation and troubleshooting of VSDs (variable speed drives). Typical practical applications of VSDs in process control and materials handling, such as those for pumping, ventilation, conveyers, compressors and hoists are covered in detail. Readers will learn the basic setup of parameters, control wiring and safety precautions in installing a VSD. The various drive features such as operating modes, braking types, automatic restart and many others will be discussed in detail. Readers will learn the four basic requirements for a VSD to function properly with emphasis on typical controller faults, their causes and how they can be repaired. The concluding section of the book gives you the fundamental tools in troubleshooting VSDs confidently and effectively. Even though the focus of the book is on the direct application of this technology, readers will also gain a thorough understanding of the problems that can be introduced by VSDs - such as harmonics, electrostatic discharge and EMC/EMI problems.

The bible for technicians in the field
I am a mines and SCR rig electrician. I have actually attended Malcolms seminar related to the subject matter and, in fact, i have 3 copies of the book; that's how often i use it.
The information will open up the modern world of AC drives for the novice. For those applying the technology in the field such as, in mines, i thoroughly recommend it.
There are useful appendices in areas that compliment the knowledge required in heavy industry (the Gray scale in rotary encoders) areas of expertise that we must know and i can assure you that i have not been able to find that information anywhere else, or so tactfully presented.
I have assisted electrical engineers to understand the subject through the knowledge that this manual provides the technician.
Malcolm is definitely "the man" and his book is an absolute essential item - the bible - for heavy industrial electricians.
