5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, 22 Aug 2000

By	Dr. Nelson (England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Electric Motors and Control Techniques (Paperback)

This is the book for anybody who works with motors and speed controllers(as i do).It will help you understand how they work by using lots of different circuit diagrams,also it explains the differences between all types of ac&dc motors, induction,synchronous,slip ring,squirrel cage,capacitor run and so on..

3.0 out of 5 stars Overview with little depth, 28 Sep 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Electric Motors and Control Techniques (Paperback)

The book is good in giving a general (although a little dated) overview of motor types and control techniques. Unfortunately they are too special for a layman to understand and too general for a specialist to really do something with it. I have found the book a little disappointing, because it is assuming things without ever explaining them.

I had the impression, that the author had more interest in displaying the scope of his knowledge instead of helping someone else to get to the same level of understanding

2.0 out of 5 stars Dated and lacks clarity, 8 May 2010

By	John Hardy (Redditch, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Electric Motors and Control Techniques (Paperback)

This book is in many ways a good effort. It is detailed and explores some unusual motor configurations. The first third is about various designs of electric motor and most of the rest is about controllers, with a shortish section at the end about electric vehicles and discussion of hyperflywheels, cold fusion and the like.

The main problem for me was that it was dated. There was no mention of IGBTs for example and in the (brief) discussion of Electric Vehicle batteries, no mention of Nickel metal-hydride batteries. Lithium batteries were only mentioned as little more than a research project.

The other thing I struggled with was that the text was poor at explaining principles: a few paragraphs of description, then it would slap a circuit diagram in front of you. I would recommend Austin Hughes' book Electric Motors and Drives: Fundamentals, Types and Applications as a better written and far more up to date alternative
