Publisher's Synopsis
This book provides unique coverage of the elevator aspects of electrical drive systems. Physical construction is covered together with methods of control employed in such areas as mains distortion and acoustic noise reduction. Full descriptions of actual controller designs are given and design tables are included. This will be of value to all engineers who wish to apply their skills to the design and development of elevator drives. The text will benefit electrical, mechanical, electromechanical engineers, passenger control operators in the elevator industry, maintenance and safety personnel, researchers, students of transportation science, architects, and building service engineers.
