Electric Motors and Drives: Fundamentals, Types and Applications

I'm stepping in to electronics and robotics. I needed a reference book that boosted my knowledge of the different types of motors and their operations. This is it - very detailed and needs to be concentrated on but it has found a permanent place on my bookshelf

A good introduction to motors and drives. Very light on the maths. Good review questions at the end of each chapter. An appendix pulling together all the equations would be useful.

A great book, a good beginning that is getting more advanced.

Slightly technical engineering level concepts but well worth the money

Top. Very complete, Simply, practical book. Must-have.

Good English, simple and intelligible explanations.

Got this book to learn newer information about motors and controls. 100 pages into it and it has been great. Really builds on his concepts in an effective way. So because it is so informative I give it 5 stars. But..... The print and page lay out is like someone wrote this on their word processor and printed it at home. Tiny print and huge margins. I like the book so much I’ll overlook that but it is a shame to waste such great material on such poor printing. Unfortunately this book will not last past my study of it. It will be in shambles. Too bad because they authors know their stuff and present it well.

This is by far the best book I have ever read on the technology of electric motors. Just enough mathematics to help explain the phenomena governing performance but not so much that it gets in the way of understanding. I buy this book and give it to all my employees. Clear prose, good illustrations. If I would rate it 6 stars I would.
