This book deals with LEAs that convert electric energy into controlled mechanical motion of limited travel and LEGs that transform mechanical energy into electric energy. Examples range from loudspeakers and microphones to magnetically levitated material transfer in ultraclean rooms. Much of the literature on linear actuators and generators covers the principles of operation and performance calculations of these devices.Little has been published on their control or on detailed design methodologies. This book presents the first unified treatment of the subject, including the construction, operation, control, and design of LEAs and LEGs. Chapters describe linear induction, permanent-magnet, linear reluctance, switched reluctance, and linear stepper actuators, as well as various types of linear electric generators.The text is amply illustrated with numerous design examples, and will appeal to graduate students and researchers in electrical, mechanical, and design engineering.

Stallcup's Generator, Transformer, Motor and Compressor, 2008 Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Being an Electrical Apprentice this was a required text, I wasn't totally impressed with the some of the graphics of the book, but then again it is a text book and should expect it to be of that caliber. some of the reading is a bit confusing but that may just be my lack of knowledge on the subject. The chapters in this text average about 8-12 pages which is good considering there is a lot to learn about generators, transformers, motors, and compressors.

Permanent Magnet Motor Technology Revised (Electrical and Computer Engineering) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I couldn't disagree with the previous reviewer more strongly. This book is awful: a poorly-organized mishmash of topics generally capitulated via equation with little depth and no explanation offered.
The index is a joke: on one recent occasion I was disappointed to find that there is not a single heading under the word "thermal". Surely a book on PM motors would have at least one passage talking about some thermal property that would merit inclusion?
Overall, I have become accustomed to being disappointed when looking to this book for help. Anyone interested would be better advised to get Hanselman's excellent Brushless Permanent Magnet Motor Design instead.

Electric Motor Handbook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book was a huge disappointment. There is not a useful word in it for the electric motor end-user or designer needing an off-the-shelf electric motor.
If you're looking for information on electric motors, like: lubrication, bearings, seals, cooling, standard mount styles and sizes, common motor abbreviations (TEFC, TEAO, etc.), how to size and choose a motor, energy efficiency, preventative maintenance techniques, or anything that might be even remotely practical, DO NOT waste your time on this book.
McGraw-Hill Publishing would be wise to commission a new book called "Electic Motor Practical Handbook" covering the above mentioned topics. While I own many of McGraw's (usually excellent) "Handbook" series of titles, this is the first that I would rate a utter flop.

Electric Motor Maintenance and Troubleshooting Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had this book on backorder for three months, eagerly anticipating new ideas, new methods of testing, and more. Having been in the electric motor industry, from being a motor repair journeyman in the US Navy to in-depth research into motor repair and testing at universities and for utilities, for about 20 years, I have seen major changes to the industry since the early 1980's.
The information in the book is the same old thing in a new cover. I see no difference between this book, previous books by the author, and my early 1950's copy of "Preventive Maintenance of Electrical Equipment" by Charles L Hubert. Basically, the book would make a great history lesson on testing from the early 1900's, while lacking in new test options that have come out over the past 25 years. The recommended 'smoke tests' and dangerous high voltage tests can be avoided these days, and are dangerous in their own right (safety issues).
There are quite a few technical issues with the book. For instance, surge testing is related as an 'inductance-based test' which is incorrect. It is actually an impedance-based test.
While new instruments have been available for the past 25 years, that are affordable, none of those technologies are mentioned. And in one area, the author offers his opinions on new technologies and what they detect, but does not provide information to allow the reader or student to make their own decisions. For instance: "Uneven air gap - a test claim - can't be detected from the three leads of a three phase motor. (Although it isn't desirable, an uneven air gap won't destroy a motor's winding.)" - Whereas, air gap problems are detected by inductance, and impedance, because of changes to the electrical circuit (this author cannot change the laws of physics), and, while it has a minimal effect on the windings, it has a pronounced effect on the mechanics of the motor, which is why air gap is important when assembling motors, and when troubleshooting with vibration (eccentric rotor vibration).
I am, to put it mildly, disappointed.

Electric Machinery and Transformers (The Oxford Series in Electrical and Computer Engineering) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This review applies to the 2nd edition.
I'm not an electrical engineer; I bought this book to get a better understanding of how electromagnetic equipment operates. The book is very approachable in that it does not utilize advanced mathematics (understanding basic algebra, trig, and some calculus is sufficient to understand most of the book). A reader with a good understanding of electricity (including impedance in AC circuits) and magnetism can learn quite a bit about motors, generators, and transformers from this book. Don't know how a professional engineer/educator would rate this book. If your main goal is better understandng of these types of devices, I'd highly recommend this book in used form - new is very expensive.

Electric Motors and Control Techniques Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Overall I found this to be an excellent book. I enjoyed every page, and in particular tracing out circuit operations of the various schematics. I thought the diversity of circuits was great.
Nowhere in the title did I see "Basics of" or Fundementals of". This is not a book for the novice. The reader must have a good understanding of AC and DC motors, and solid state theory, circiuts, and devices.
I found the concatenation of induction motors, and the Kramer speed control system very interesting. I have many old industrial control books, but none shows these systems.
There are several errors, and examples of such are: Page 44, Para 3 is completely wrong. The proper way to reverse direction of compound motors is to reverse A1 and A2. Page 57, para 2 relates to this proper method. Fig. 5-9 Q102 shows a JFET- should be a UJT. Fig. 5-13 Q1 same thing. Fig. 5-10 has negative 250 VDC lines to emitters of Q532-Q536 and Q552-Q556 missing. Eliminate lead from motor to bottom of C541. Fig. 6-11 motor will never reverse with this scheme. Turning dial in opposite direction FWD biasis Q2 turning on Q1 which energizes RY2. RY1 drops out turning system off. Motor never runs CCW.
I have a comprehensive technical library, and one of my books is by this author entitled "Design and Operation of Regulated Power Supplies". It's an old book, and it's full of solid state circuits. I am indebted to authors like Mr Gottlieb, for it's their writings that enabled me to learn solid state electronics.

Electric Motors and Drives: Fundamentals, Types and Applications (3rd Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For professional reasons I needed to get a clear overview on the fundamentals of electric motors and their drives, without delving into details. This book completely satisfied my requests. More intensively every day software is involved in the design of drives for electric motors. DSP and microcontrollers are the cores of this drives. Software engineers don't need to know the details of functionality of the motors therefore can get a benefit from reading this book in order to understand why some algorithms are implemented in the programs they develop. I found very interesting the explicit intention to explain the fundamentals of electric motors in a non quantitative way: in complicated formulas the essence of reality gets lost. Now, after reading this book, I can say that I have understood how the electric motors work.
