About this ebook
The Understanding Motor Controls, 5th Edition by Stephen Herman and Frank Seiler is an introductory textbook designed for students with no prior experience in the field. It transitions readers from foundational concepts to building and troubleshooting advanced industrial circuits. [1]
The main topics covered in the 5th Edition include:
1. Basic Principles & Foundations
- Introductory Control Concepts: Differentiating between manual, semiautomatic, and automatic pilot sensing control methods.
- Reading Schematic & Wiring Diagrams: Interpreting control logic using standard ladder diagrams, connection indicators, and graphic symbols. [1, 2]
2. Motor Control Components
- Primary Elements: Operation and application of basic components like contactors, electromechanical relays, and magnetic motor starters.
- Pilot Devices & Control Logic: Utilizing push buttons, limit switches, pressure switches, and other pilot sensing devices.
- Timing Relays & Devices: Exploring both modern electronic control components and legacy types of timers for reference. [1, 2, 3]
3. Circuit Operations & Control Methods
- Starting Systems: Progression from basic circuits to more complex configurations like auto-transformer starters and reduced-voltage methods. [1, 2]
- Specialized Functions: Configuring control circuits for distinct operational demands such as jogging / inching (momentary line voltage connections) and timing logic. [1, 2]
- Programmable Electronic Devices: Introduction to implementing programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and integrated semiconductor electronic controls into circuits. [1, 2]
4. Code Compliance, Safety, & Troubleshooting
- National Electrical Code (NEC) Updates: Sizing overcurrent protection, protecting the control circuitry, and selecting the correct overload heater sizes according to the most recent NEC standard. [1, 2]
- Practical Troubleshooting: Techniques for identifying and isolating circuit issues using standard electrical meters and diagnostic test equipment. [1]
- Hands-on Applications: Integrated laboratory experiments that allow users to safely practice wire assembly and diagnostic strategies from simple to advanced circuits. [1]
