Abstract :
An overview of AC and DC drive theory, operation, and proper applications is given. Three areas that are basic to understanding the devices are covered: (1) fundamentals of variable speed controls; (2) adjustable speed drive applications; and (3) power system disturbances and solid-state drives. A summary list of the major considerations is provided
