The first section of the manual discusses the energy resources of nurseries and greenhouse complexes, their main mechanisms and systems, and provides the basics of their traction indicators. The second section is devoted to electromechanical drive for nurseries and greenhouse complexes. Electrical machines and mechanical transmissions are considered as an integral part for transmitting forces and movement to the working bodies of technological machines and mechanisms. Their purpose, structure and principle of operation are given. For a better assimilation of the material and for self-training, test questions are given for each paragraph of the manual.
