Electric Motors and Control Techniques

Get this book if you work with EV's or electric motors of any kind. The technical aspects are going to have to be breached by anyone who wants to work on, work with or use electric motors whatever function. If you want to know your stuff... this book belongs in your library.

i bought this on how to rewind motors and wire them up but was over my head on control and contactor hook up good info

Good book. Add to your library

love it

This book does a convincing job of covering the basic mechanics of the different motor types. The physics are presented with a clarity that sufficed but did not impress me. I approached this book having taken undergraduate level EM physics and some EE courses at a US university.The two topics that particularly interested me, Regenerative braking and Brushless DC motors, were not covered to my satisfaction. I felt that Regenerative braking could have been given more than the few paragraphs it received. I would have enjoyed a table summarizing all of the different motors' characteristics and applications.The book has not been revised recently, and there are many instances in which it shows its age. It seems, and here I paraphrase, that there are frequent examples of "In the future, electronics will be developed that..." or "This technology shows promise, but is not yet mature enough for practical application..." The final chapter is embarrassing to read. It contains spelling errors (eg "taut" for "tout"), cut and pasted sentences, sentences lacking clauses, and giddy speculation about cold fusion. It cites an experiment conducted at the "Stanford engineering department", without any publication details, principal authors, years, etc. I do not understand its inclusion.

Very good book

Book well made and discuss well presented. I will recommend this book to anyone whose trade or skill requires adequate knowledge of electric motors and control. Thanks to the author and publisher.

Thank you.
