Hardcover. Etat : Fine. 1st Edition. A concise and technical practical guide to the design, operation, and maintenance of DC motors, authored by Peter Walker and published in 1968. Written during an era of significant industrial expansion, Peter Walker's Direct Current Motors remains a valuable historical and technical reference for electrical engineers and industrial historians. While AC power became the standard for transmission, Walker's text highlights the unique advantages of DC motors?specifically their unparalleled torque characteristics and speed control?which ensured their continued dominance in heavy industry, traction, and specialized automation during the mid-20th century. The book serves as a bridge between theoretical electrical physics and the practical realities of the shop floor, offering a "no-nonsense" approach to troubleshooting and machine application. Core Technical Content: Foundational Principles: Comprehensive explanation of electromagnetism and the mechanical generation of torque in a DC field. Motor Varieties: Detailed analysis of Series, Shunt, and Compound wound motors, including their distinct speed-load characteristics. Commutation & Armature Reaction: Technical insights into the challenges of sparkless commutation and the design of brush gear. Speed Control: Evaluation of the various methods for varying motor speed, which was a critical advantage of DC systems before the advent of modern solid-state AC frequency drives. Maintenance & Testing: Guidance on diagnosing insulation failure, commutator wear, and mechanical alignment issues. N° de réf. du vendeur 0006
