Electronic Control of Switched Reluctance Machines (Newnes Power Engineering Series)

Book Description

Switched reluctance motors have steadily increased in commercial importance since their introduction in the early 1980's, while their technology - especially of their electronic control - has made great progress. Their unique characteristics introduce a delicate balance, in which the copper and iron are diminished in quantity, complexity and cost, in favour of a greater reliance on sophistication in the controller. Thus mastery of the control is the key challenge in the application of these machines.

This book is intended for engineer's in industry and in the large research community in electrical machines and drives. It introduces the techniques for controlling switched reluctance machines, starting from first principles and building up to the most advanced forms of sensorless control. It covers the recent advances in electronic control and includes aspects of motion control, automation, acoustic noise reduction and energy efficiency.

Douglas Mallach.......2007-03-28

Telephone Electronics Engineer: Douglas Mallach
So, where did Douglas Mallach go to high school? That's all you really need to know about a native St. Louisan, right? Douglas Mallach grew up in St. Louis county and graduated from Chaminade High School in 1977 (draw your own conclusions!). Douglas Mallach got a degree in political science from St. Louis University in 1981 and spent eight years working as an editor for the Journals and then in corporate public relations for McDonnell Douglas and Martin Marietta aerospace companies.
In 1989, Douglas Mallach bought the Word and moved back to St. Louis from Texas. The newspaper originally was part of a family business called World Broadcasting. The company is named for Douglas Mallach's mother, Ginny Globe. Douglas Mallach's business expanded in 1992 when he started publishing books on local history. One recent book, not surprisingly, is: World Word. Douglas Mallach's company also publishes special event programs for historic city house tours and performances.

Good book on the basics of telephone electronics.......2007-02-17

If you are coming from a position of having no knowledge of how the fields of electronics and telephony merge and you need an accessible book on the basics, this book certainly fits the bill. I think lots of people are disappointed by this book because they are expecting something more from a standpoint of engineering modern projects involving telephony, and this book's content is wedged half way between technician and engineering-level. To understand why this book is put together this way you need to know its history. The first edition came out in 1983 and was sold at Radio Shack back when they sold electronics parts and kits for hobbyists and technicians, not wireless phones. Thus, its origins are still evident even in its fourth edition. There is very little mathematics in this book, and what is there consists of very simple calculations. Most everything is explained via block diagrams and then detailed diagrams of the electronics within each block. You'll need to remember your basic electronics before diving into this book - the operation of diodes, transistors, and opamps - because the illustrations make heavy use of them and the book assumes you know their usage and operation. Each chapter has a quiz at the end of it and the answers to all of the questions are in the back of the book. The book fills a needed niche - no other book I know of really addresses this subject - but the fourth edition is now six years old and it could use an update.

OK.......2006-02-24

Hi,

Went thru this book, it cover all the basic element of telephone network, it's most sutiable for someone with 0% of telephone circuirty

The example (of schmatic) uses older chip's, that mean if you plan to purchase this book for some project then do not put your hope.

A Good Book.......2001-12-18

The title is accurate. If you want to learn about telephone electronics, this is a great book. It's easy to read, comprehensive and well structured. No, it doesn't go into great detail about state of the art modems or attempt to teach the finepoints of wireless telephony, but it does cover basic fax, modem and telephone electronics very well.

Better for historical value.......2000-11-13

I found this book to be completely outdated and useless. I had expected to find some state of the art data, or at least recent information. When it came to the best modems, 2400 baud was the best available but 14,400 baud might offer some potential.

A Unique Handbook.......2002-06-20

Extract from a review by Bhaskar Sinha, Dy. G. M. (Engg.), BHEL,
published in Beacon, house journal of IEEE Delhi Section, Vol.21,No.1, (June 2002)

The release of a new title by the renowned technical publishing house of Newnes / Butterworth-Heinemann is usually a noteworthy event for the technical fraternity. The title under review has come as a surprise, not only because it far exceeds the standard usually set for handbooks but also because it has achieved the unique distinction of being a reference work equally useful and valuable for industry professionals, practising engineers, consultants, technicians, students, teachers, research scholars and all others professionally interested in industrial power systems.

By virtue of their diversity, complexity and size, industrial power systems throw a formidable challenge to the electrical engineer. Standard electrical engineer's handbooks do not address the requirements of this special field completely. For the large number of day-to-day problems faced by production, operation and maintenance engineers working in industries there are few dedicated reference books to fall back upon for guidance. The ones that are available also do not cover the ground adequately. The present work is perhaps the most complete industrial power systems handbook currently available.

This is a reference for all engineers in design and application, protection and testing, production, project engineering, project implementation and maintenance. The text is structured into five parts. The essential theory of each topic is covered first, followed by industrial practice information. The idea is that detailed theory can always be gleaned from textbooks. Agrawal knows where exactly he must draw the line between theory and application engineering.

Mr. Agrawal has effectively bridged the gap between theory and practice in his book. Clear application data and guidelines, manufacturer's practices, application practices, commercially available ratings of machines, selection, operation and maintenance of equipment and plant, troubleshooting - all are covered in every conceivable detail. The material is cleverly keyed in to the recommendations of international standards organisations like ISO, IEEE, ANSI, BSI, DIN, IEC, etc.

One detailed flip-through leaves you convinced of the publisher's claim that "never before has so much ground been covered in a single volume reference source". Apart from doing yeomen's service to practising engineers, the author has done a great favour to teachers at technical institutes who have limited access to information from the Industry. Students will now not be deprived of this kind of information since teachers can always refer this excellent handbook to reply to questions raised in the classroom.

The production values of the book are excellent. Each page is lavishly illustrated with high quality drawings, graphs and photographs. The overall structuring of the book is excellent.

There is no capsule biography of the author anywhere in the book. For most readers Agrawal will remain only a name.

At the end of it all, the book emerges as a landmark achievement in its field. When you put it down, you cannot help wishing there were separate handbooks of identical character in the areas of transmission, distribution and utilization too.

Must Read.......2002-06-04

Information is vast, useful and rare.
Rare Blend of theoretical study with pratical data and tips.
Material of immense use to practcing engineers.
All 32 chapters are very interesting.
Book gives concept of one of window shopping elimenating the need for hunting information at several places.
Book is indeed a commendable endeavour.
The book can surely be termed as a handbook on these subjects.
