Wiley Electric Machines and Drives

Looks great, is a textbook, has pages, has hardcover. I bought it for a university course, but we never used it. It was a lot cheaper than the bookstore though.

This is as the sub-title says: "A first Course".This book is well written and clear for someone who is looking for a general understanding of the topic.I was personally mislead as I did not pay attention to the sub-title. As it was one of the reference books for one of my graduated course, I thought it was at the right level but it turned out that I did not learned anything from that book that I did not already knew.So, be careful, if you have already passed the introduction level and have a relatively good knowledge of the subject, this book is not for you.

Excellent book (made even better by an excellent professor). One of the few that have ended up on my desk at work. It isn't the in-depth-everything-you'll-ever-need-to-know type book, but is small and light enough to make an excellent quick reference when you need it.I was initially surprised by how small this book actually is, but once we started going through it in class I discovered there is actually quite a bit of material covered in it. The chapters are fairly well written, my only beef was in trying to find some of the formulas. There are so many equations on some of the pages they all start to blend together sometimes. The questions at the end of the chapter were well done and force you to think through the material.Note that my opinion of the book may be skewed by how much I enjoyed taking the class, more specifically because of an awesome instructor.

This isn't a bad book. This book however does lack enough definition to allow students to build a good intuition in solving electric drives problems. When I used this book for a class, I found myself looking for additional clarification online. also, this book does not contain a disk with the files that Mohan recommends you have to start the labs related to the chapters. A detailed chapter summary/review, an appendix list of key equations, and an included content disk would be great additions to the next revision of this book considering the cost you pay for it.

Very good technical details for motors n drives principles
