Motor Control Circuits is a mobile application dedicated to individuals in the field of electrical technologies to help them understand the various methods use for starting and controlling electrical motors. To use this application, a basic knowledge of electrical technology is recommended. This application is structured in to three separate tabs (Control methods, single phase symbols, three phase symbols) The Control methods tab which contains a list detail view of various starting circuits with explanatory for each method. You can learn and master the following symbols from this app:The other two tabs contains a list of single phase and three phase symbol of all devices in both EU and US/CAN standards used in the application respectively.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Weld Handbook at $2.99 against Motor Control Circuits's $5.99. Motor Control Circuits's advantage is iOS requirement (13.3 vs 17.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
