This review is from: Inspection of Large Synchronous Machines: Checklists, Failure Identification, and Troubleshooting (IEEE Press Series on Power Engineering) (Hardcover)

I read the book and is very useful for those wants to begin how to deal with generators "daily work".I do not like some pictures, which are difficult to understand sometimes.For the price charged, colored pictures would be worthy for sure.Also, some information available in this book could be found in the other book "Operation and maintenence of large turbo-generators" from the same author.Depending on the objective, I think the mentioned book is better.
