Electric Motor Handbook
by: James L. Kirtley, Jr., H. Wayne Beaty, Nirmal K Ghai, Steven B Leeb, Richard H. Lyon
Abstract: From portable CD drivers to heavy industry behemoths–all the essential facts about electric motors in one comprehensive reference. It thoroughly covers updated traction applications, the latest on solid-state motor-drive controllers, electrical and mechanical parameters, specifications, shapes, performance, protection, and every size of motor made–from those used in portable CDs to the motors required by heavy industry.
