Review: Truly remarkable book - This truly remarkable book has done much to elucidate the fundamental principles of motors and drives in the plainest terms. The focus is on DC motor and induction motor. It also covers stepper motor and synchronous motor. Its explanation of the induction motor is second to none. The mechanisms are explained clearly, not shrouded in the complex mathematical formulation. The author is enthusiastic about the subject that he is writing, a quality that I consider essential for a good book. I was initially disappointed to find scanty discussion on brushless DC motor, but soon I realize that once I understand induction motor, synchronous motor which BLDC motor is a subclass is relatively trivial.
Review: Love this book! - I'm an electrical engineer, working on wind turbines. I never took a course on motors during my engineering school and found this book. It was great! I enjoyed it almost like a good thriller! :-) The author has a fresh approach of explaining things with a bit of equations and a lot of words. Easy language, very intuitive and down to earth. I read the book the first time just to get the main idea, then started reading it the second time to let some of the concepts sink. I will read this book a third time for sure. That's how good it is!
