This book is a great addition to any tool box. We recently used it to identify 9 leads in a delta connected motor. With the method used here, we saved enough time (money) to cover the cost of the book!

The format with the questions and answers page numbers at the end of each chapter would make it quite useful in the class room, too.

Of course, the "safety tips" through out are useful to everyone.

I like it. I am still reading it ,but i like the way in which it is written. I wanted more information on motors due to college courses I am currently taking. I jumped past DC and went straight into AC 3 phase.This book is divided in three sections; theory, troubleshooting, and maintenance.It is a textbook with questions at the end of each chapter.

As a previous owner of an Electric Motor Shop, I would recommend this book as a supplement for their 'Bible' for electric motor repairs. I would also recommend that anyone teaching this trade have this as a study guide for his students. It's tops for any problem solving of electric motors.
