Customer Review:

1: Motors and Control Circuits
Exellent study guide for beginner and journeyman Accompanying CD is articulate and the best I have seen.The author has done a fine job,both technically and artistically.

2: Not the Real Deal...
For those who want to know the fundamentals of Automated Industrial Systems under the heading of Electrical Motor Control... This text of ISBN 0-8273-8640-0, I can not recommend. There maybe better text that I am not aware of, But ISBN 0-8269-1663-5 from 1987 is a text you can grow with. I'll be upgrading to ISBN 0-8269-1675-9 by Gary Rockis & Glen Mazur. Sincerely, Industrial Maintenance Electrician of 12+ years. I will post an additional review once I have viewed the upgraded edition. (I've wondered about these reviews... Are they posted by a PR / sales people???) Good Luck & Be Safe.

3: Comprehensive Detailed Motor Control Text
Very competently written text that covers all areas of traditional motor control. The author demonstrates his field knowledge by including typical characteristics of device failure and indications where inspection and possible maintenance would be prudent. Circuits and schematics are shown in standard ladder logic convention and in some instances even shows analogy to digital logic for those who are formerly trained electronics technicians.

My one criticism is the sequencing of some of the chapters. The author seems to have weaved in and out of some areas where I expected more complete coverage only to find the topics further toward the back of the text. This detracts from an otherwise well written and authoritative text for the 1st time and intermediate level learner.


4: Great Information
This book is loaded with informative and valuable essential
information that anyone in the field would find enteresting, and would be of extreme benefit to those entering the field.

I found each chapter well written, easy to understand, and not cluttered with useless information.

The Unit on "Synchronous Automatic Motor Starter" was of particular interest to me as I have operated these machines before.

The section on "Developing Control Circuits" was also exciting for me as I have worked on storm drain pumping stations, and sewage lift stations which utilized the two pump alternating scheme shown in Figs. 2 thru 6.

The solid state theory and circuits was excellent.

This book makes for great reading, and I recommend it for all hands.


5: Execellent book. Few technical books hit the mark like this
Well written electronic/electrical books are like finding gold nuggets. I have an electrical background and used this book as a refresher to study for a professional test. I found it was well written, accurate and to the point. The authors did not get bogged down in endless calculations, but did present what was necessary. The authors covered each subject completely with well selected words, illustrations, and pictures that conveyed the idea in a simple to understand format. I would recommend this book to anyone, beginner, or craftsman seeking review of subjects they have not worked with for some time. I liked the short unit concept of covering each subject. I will look to these authors first for other electrical titles in the future.
