Research and Markets: Analyse this Comprehensive Drivepower Technology Atlas
DUBLIN, Ireland, June 2 -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c18279 ) has announced the addition of Drivepower Technology Atlas to their offering.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20040820/RESEARCH )
This Atlas is a comprehensive guide to energy efficient motors and drives, highlighting practical implementation issues based on field experience. Topics featured include DSM program design, adjustable-speed drives, cube-law loads, power quality, measuring motor performance, and maintenance and monitoring, as well as load types, motor sizing and selection, and motor repair. Motor efficiency is discussed in detail, along with several energy-saving designs and techniques.
The resources section contains a bibliography, lists of motor and ASD manufacturers, a list of associations related to motors and drives throughout the U.S. and Canada, and a glossary.
