Basic inspiration for writing this book was free internet available edition of Facts Worth Knowing about AC Drives, expanded to include current issues such as hybridization and innovative solutions adopted by users. Drawing on his extensive academic and industrial experience, the author presents drive electronics in an accessible way, often using his own simulation models. In addition, the electronic format of the book makes it easier to search the text and retrieve relevant information.

The book is aimed at a wide readership – from engineers designing and operating drive systems, through students of technical disciplines, to practitioners seeking up-to-date knowledge on the effective application of AC drives in industry. The publication can serve both as an academic textbook and as a practical guide, providing essential knowledge for the design, selection, commissioning, and reliable operation of AC drive systems. The author also addresses safety, energy efficiency, and electromagnetic compatibility, emphasizing solutions applied in real industrial environments. Considerable attention is given to the selection of drive system components and life-cycle cost analysis, enabling informed investment decisions.
