Electric Machinery and Motors Engineering Books


1.	[no image]	Electric Motors and Drives: Fundamentals, Types and Applications from Butterworth-Heinemann Ltd Customer Review: The book is a decent overview of many standard types of motors.

6.		Industrial Motor Control from Delmar Cengage Learning Price: $125.50 Customer Review: I think that being a beginners course that it should have had two extra chapters.
