About this book
Electrical drives in general play a key role in power generation, household appliances, automotive and industrial applications. The rapidly expanding area of adjustable speed drives as used in robotics, wind turbines and hybrid vehicles is driven by innovations in machine design, power semi-conductors, digital signal processors and simulation software.
Fundamentals of Electrical Drives is for readers with a basic engineering knowledge who have a need or desire to comprehend and apply the theory and simulation methods which are applied by drive specialist throughout the world.

Reviews
From the reviews:
"This book on fundamentals of electrical drives provides the background of modern electrical drives. … The uniqueness of this book is that the authors use generic models to represent drive components. … This would be a great book for electrical engineers learning about electric drives and could also be used for a course in electrical drives … ." (Electrical Insulation Magazine, Vol. 24 (5), September/October, 2008)
