5.0 out of 5 stars Execellent book. Few technical books hit the mark like this, June 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Industrial Motor Control (Hardcover)

Well written electronic/electrical books are like finding gold nuggets. I have an electrical background and used this book as a refresher to study for a professional test. I found it was well written, accurate and to the point. The authors did not get bogged down in endless calculations, but did present what was necessary. The authors covered each subject completely with well selected words, illustrations, and pictures that conveyed the idea in a simple to understand format. I would recommend this book to anyone, beginner, or craftsman seeking review of subjects they have not worked with for some time. I liked the short unit concept of covering each subject. I will look to these authors first for other electrical titles in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Information, October 24, 2001

This review is from: Industrial Motor Control (Hardcover)

This book is loaded with informative and valuable essential
information that anyone in the field would find enteresting, and would be of extreme benefit to those entering the field.

I found each chapter well written, easy to understand, and not cluttered with useless information.

The Unit on "Synchronous Automatic Motor Starter" was of particular interest to me as I have operated these machines before.

The section on "Developing Control Circuits" was also exciting for me as I have worked on storm drain pumping stations, and sewage lift stations which utilized the two pump alternating scheme shown in Figs. 2 thru 6.

The solid state theory and circuits was excellent.

This book makes for great reading, and I recommend it for all hands.
