Permanent Magnet Motor Technology: Design and Applications, Third Edition (Electrical and Computer Engineering)

Reflects The Latest Advances In Permanent Magnet Motor TechnologyThe importance of permanent magnet (PM) motor technology and its impact on electromechanical drives has grown exponentially since the publication of the bestselling second edition. In the past three years alone, the PM brushless motor market has grown five times faster than the overall motion control market. This rapid growth makes it essential for electrical and electromechanical engineers and students to stay up-to-date on the latest developments in modern electrical motors and drives, including their control, simulation, and CAD.Reflecting the latest innovations in the development of PM motors for electromechanical drives, Permanent Magnet Motor Technology: Design and Applications, Third Edition demonstrates the construction of PM motor drives and supplies ready-to-implement solutions to common roadblocks along the way. This up-to-date edition supplies fundamental equations and calculations for determining and evaluating system performance, efficiency, reliability, and cost. It explores modern computer-aided design of PM motors, including the finite element approach, and explains how to select PM motors to meet the specific requirements of electrical drives. The numerous examples, models, and diagrams provided in each chapter facilitate a lucid understanding of motor operations and characteristics.This 3 rd edition of a bestselling reference has been thoroughly revised and updated to include:New chapters on high speed motors and micromotorsThe latest advances in permanent magnet motor technologyAdditional numerical examples and illustrationsAn increased effort to bridge the gap between theory and industrial applicationsUpdated research resultsThe growing global trend towards energy conservation makes it quite possible that the era of the PM brushless motor drive is just around the corner. This reference book will keep engineers, researchers, and graduate-level students up-to-date and provide the comprehensive understanding required to develop the breakthroughs that will push this exciting technology to the forefront.Gieras, Jacek F. is the author of 'Permanent Magnet Motor Technology: Design and Applications, Third Edition (Electrical and Computer Engineering)', published 2009 under ISBN 9781420064407 and ISBN 1420064401.
