A Comprehensive Learning Tool for Industrial Electricians
25 Oct 1998
Format:Hardcover
This book is surprisingly complete, yet it is easy to use. Don't get me wrong, this is not liesure reading, but it is one of the most easily understood, yet comprehensive, books on industrial electrical equipment that I have seen in 25 years in the business. It starts with the basic subjects of Electricity, Magnetism, AC Current, Inductance, and Capacitance, and explains them very well in simple concepts. It then moves on to Transformers, Generators, and Motors, explaining how to use them, how to calculate power, torque, etc. Sizing considerations and post-installation calculations are demonstrated. Then the book goes into motor control methods, including control circuitry, older motor controllers, and Solid State Motor Controls (Drives), and even a little bit on Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC's). This book is highly recommended to anyone working in industrial maintenance, drive manufacturers and service engineers, industrial service shops (motors and/or controls), and aspiring industrial system engineers.

Educational - Learning

Format:Hardcover
Even thou I have not completed this book in its entirety, I am pleased to say that I have found it to be informative.
I have been in the electrical industry for almost twenty five years and in all that time there have been several aspects of electrical theory which I have never really fully understood.
This book has made some of the mathematical problems seem so simple and easily understood that I now feel that I have just come out of my apprenticeship.
Anyone who wishes to understand the logic behind electrical theory needs to read this book.
