Electric Motors: No. 16 (Workshop Practice)

An excellent and informative book, or as my old boss used to say " the dogs bollocks "

Great Book very informative

It is a fact of life that many an experienced electrician can forget the basics, especially when it comes to working mathematical theory and the like. Whilst this isn't an advanced book for those that like to indulge in the mysteries of physics, it is suffice to get one out of trouble, or help him brush up on forgotten basics. For those who ignore the basics, life can become very difficult, especially when in the field with nobody to turn to. I found this book useful enough to keep on the shelf and within arm's reach.

Arrived safely and on time, well packaged, good condition. Many thanks 😊

The good bits: the author writes with authority on a subject that he clearly knows well. The book seems well organised and is generally written and illustrated clearly.The not-so-good: the book is a little bit limited in its scope, with all the example being small motors. You won't find the kind of motor used in the Tesla for example. I'd have liked to have seen a bit more on brushless DC motors. Also (a minor carp) some of the photographs were a bit dark and a bit small.Whether you find the book useful probably depends on what you are looking for and what else you have read. If you run a small machine shop, I guess it would be ideal. I'm glad I read it but I probably won't read it twice.

Bought as a gift for someone who knows his motors. Still has interest for an expert, and essential information for the lesser player.

Good book that taught me enough to understand how to get the motor on my lath working and what I would need to replace it in the future.

Informative
