Audel’s Electric Motors is the one-stop complete reference for everything related to electric motors. Targeted at the individual repairing, maintaining and installing motors and the student. Coverage includes use, selection, operation, repair and maintenance. The book begins with explaining the principles of motor function, then covers the various types of motors, dealing with special types of motors, motor control, motor selection and replacement, motor repair tools, motor wiring, motion control and includes several sections on motor repair and maintenance, and motor troubleshooting. Both text and illustrations will be updated and reformatted for easy reading. Many motors books contain excessive math and calculus information making them difficult to understand.
