Electric Motors and Drives: Fundamentals, Types and Applications

I'm stepping in to electronics and robotics. I needed a reference book that boosted my knowledge of the different types of motors and their operations. This is it - very detailed and needs to be concentrated on but it has found a permanent place on my bookshelf

A good introduction to motors and drives. Very light on the maths. Good review questions at the end of each chapter. An appendix pulling together all the equations would be useful.

A great book, a good beginning that is getting more advanced.

Got this book to learn newer information about motors and controls. 100 pages into it and it has been great. Really builds on his concepts in an effective way. So because it is so informative I give it 5 stars. But..... The print and page lay out is like someone wrote this on their word processor and printed it at home. Tiny print and huge margins. I like the book so much I’ll overlook that but it is a shame to waste such great material on such poor printing. Unfortunately this book will not last past my study of it. It will be in shambles. Too bad because they authors know their stuff and present it well.

Top. Very complete, Simply, practical book. Must-have.

Good English, simple and intelligible explanations.

Slightly technical engineering level concepts but well worth the money

For engineers that need a high-level overview of electric motors prior to diving into specialist text, this textbook is very well written and organized.
