Industrial Electronics for Engineers, Chemists, and Technicians: With Optional Lab Experiments

by Daniel J. Shanefield

Overview

Turn to this multipurpose reference for a practical understanding of electronics in the factory or laboratory. It's perfect for people who are not electrical engineers but who need to use electronic equipment every day at work. Avoid or solve common problems in the use of electronics in the factory or lab and optimize the use of measurement and control equipment with this helpful resource!

The guide is easy to understand by anyone who has taken a high school physics course—yet it provides quick, specific solutions for such electronics issues as feedback oscillation, ground loops, impedance mismatch, noise pickup, and optimization of PID controllers.

Use Industrial Electronics as a hands-on resource to handle typical electronics questions as they arise, as a self-study text to provide a broad background for understanding general electronics issues and design, or even for an instructor-led, on-the-job training course in shop or lab electronics. Because of the highly detailed explanations in the book, instructors themselves do not need to be experts. Of course, the volume is perfect for use as a textbook in college and vocational school courses.

The laboratory experiments are optional and may be used merely as examples. Components are inexpensive and can be obtained from consumer electronics stores such as Radio Shack or from electronics suppliers on the Web. The circuit diagrams are greatly simplified and completely understandable, with every component explained.

Self-teaching guide to electronics in the lab of factory for those who use industrial electronics, but are not trained in troubleshooting common problems.

Editorial Reviews

"This is a must-get book for anyone unfamiliar with electronics!" —Mike Varela

From the Publisher

This textbook for a first-year laboratory course in practical electronics features simple experiments that require only inexpensive components and an oscilloscope. Shanefield (engineering, Rutgers University) explains such topics as the avoidance of measurement errors caused by excessively high or low input impedances, reading electrician's symbols, the shaded pole ac motor, getting 208 volts from delta or wye three-phase transformers, and optimizing a PID furnace controller.
