This book covers the subject of electrical drives in depth. Summary Of The Book Fundamentals Of Electrical Drives thoroughly covers electrical drives for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in engineering. It covers everything from the introduction to the advanced topics. The book is divided into twelve main chapters. It starts with an introduction to electrical drives, and covers the dynamics and control of electrical drives. Selection of motor power rating is discussed next, then different kinds of motors are examined. The book covers DC, induction, synchronous, and brushless motor drives. It also covers stepper motor and switched reluctance motor drives, solar and battery powered drives and traction drives. It also discusses energy conservation in motor drives. The chapters in the book are Electrical Drives - An Introduction, Dynamics of Electrical Drives, Control of Electrical Drives, Selection of Motor Power Rating, DC Motor Drives, Induction Motor Drives, Synchronous Motor and Brushless DC Motor Drives, Stepper Motor and Switched Reluctance Motor Drives, Solar and Battery Powered Drives, Traction Drives, Energy Conservation in Electrical Drives, and Electrical Drives Systems and Components. The book contains a good bibliography and reference section and the last section contains answers to numerical problems. About Gopal K. Dubey Gopal K. Dubey writes books on electrical drives. This book is in its third edition. He has also written another book, Power Semiconductor Controlled Drives.
