1.0 out of 5 stars
The book they forgot to proof!,
By John Zeigler (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Electric Motor Control (Paperback)
This is one of those books that spends more time telling you what you will learn from a chapter than what is actually presented in the material. It also asks review questions at the end of chapters that isn't explained until further in the book, if at all. Misprints are numerous and in some cases the material is just plain wrong, such as paragraph 1 on page 137 which claims that figure 23-1 can be locked off for safety reasons. Even if locked the start button would cause the motor to run if held in the on position. Hardly a 'safe' circuit. Our school required this book as part of its motors control course and every single student in our class is totally fed up with the errors and mistakes as well as the brevity of explanations.

1.0 out of 5 stars
college book,

This review is from: Electric Motor Control (Paperback)
I believe the book cover good knowledge but the test sections at the end of the chapters do not all match the sections in the book. Some randomly jump around to previous chapters or the answer required is given a paragraph that is only half of a sentence at the bottom of the bottom and is not always clear. It like this throughout the book. I would recommend this books unless it is a requirement for college as it was for more. Even our instructors will begin looking for another book for sequential quarters.
