Very good for the non-electric type of workers.

Mostly the basic information but good for the non-electrical type of workers to

understand the motors and its control.

Once again a fabulous job! I bought a previous edition for a Motors and Control class that I had in college and it was a great resource for me then so when the new edition came out, I had to get it. It is very good in how they cover DC through half of the book and then AC on the other half. This makes it a valuable resource on the job. However, they had pulled some material out from the previous version and I would liked to have seen the book in a hardback format for reference out on the job. All in all, a great resource for starting to learn about electrical motors and controls.
