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

With Optional Lab Experiments. Turn to this multipurpose reference for a practical understanding of electronics in the factory of 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 for Engineers, Chemists, and Technicians 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 form electronics suppliers on the Web. The circuit diagrams are greatly simplified and completely understandable, with every component explained. Key features: explains how capacitors, inductors, relays, self-starting ac motors, transistors, and integrated circuits actually work shows how to prevent or fix ground loops, feedback oscillations, noise pickup, and impedance mismatch teaches readers how to design simple, special-purpose circuits such as amplifiers, latching registers, oscillators, and SCR controllers provides an understanding of more complex devices including laser printers, copying machines, and analog and digital systems.
