Electrical Machinery Control Fundamentals is a textbook that was designed using a systematic and sound method to provide an overview of electrical machinery control for industrial automation. Key concepts are presented using a big picture or systems approach without an abundance of disconnected information. Real-world applications, procedures, and operations are stressed throughout the seven major units of the book. Mathematical operations are simplified, and problems are solved by basic applications.

Electrical Machinery Control Fundamentals provides a very comprehensive educational package for your understanding of the many aspects of electrical machinery control for industrial automation. The features of the book are, in summary: (1) the comprehensive overview of the subject area; (2) logical organization with associated activities included; (3) an abundance of illustrations; and (4) many laboratory activities included in the accompanying laboratory manual.
