Review: Excellent, Practical Technical Book - This is a very good technical book on electric machines and drives, probably one of the best I've ever read. It's truly written in a manner that's not heavily mathematical, but without losing any technical soundness or being anecdotal. Instead, the author expertly explains the consequence equations have on the practical design of electric machines and drives, the reasons for the design techniques of today's electric machines and drives, and how to analyze and make assessments for the selection of electric machines and drives. This new update includes a new chapter for field-oriented control used in VFD's. I think it's a worthwhile update to the 3rd edition, but the author sacrifices end of chapter problems for the addition of that chapter. Now, this book has no problems that one can practice, a very unfortunate thing! I don't know why he did it, if but he felt that the publishing costs would be too high with having to print too many extra pages or if he didn't want to develop new problems for the new VFD chapter. I would encourage him at least to bring back the problems for the other chapters in a reprint of this edition! However, the overall book is still excellent and the additional chapter is definitely a must for anyone wanting to understand fully how VFD's work. Overall, I highly recommend this book for an engineer, technician, or student. Review: Great introductory work - I'm a mechanical engineer without a lot of knowledge of electric motor design, although I have used them on various projects. That said, this book, with the aid of clear diagrams and text, is doing an excellent job of showing me the basics of electric motors from the root of the theory. Although I haven't finished this book yet, I have thumbed through the remainder and the content does not drop off. One of the highlights was a basic explanation of a thyristor, which I know now to be a relatively simple circuit element, but wasn't explained well enough in my past to realize what it did and why it was used. This was covered in the chapter that introduces basic control circuits. Readers will need to have some basis circuit and physical understanding to enable a less challenging read. I wish I had discovered this book earlier as it would have made certain tasks a lot simpler in my professional past. I hadn't found another book that so clearly explained electric motors. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BXETRQK | | Accessibility | Learn more | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,011,436 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #117 in Electric Machinery & Motors #206 in Electric Energy #498 in Electricity Principles | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (113) | | Edition | 4th | | Enhanced typesetting | Enabled | | File size | 5.0 MB | | ISBN-13 | 978-0080993683 | | Language | English | | Page Flip | Enabled | | Print length | 458 pages | | Publication date | February 20, 2013 | | Publisher | Newnes | | Screen Reader | Supported | | Word Wise | Not Enabled | | X-Ray | Not Enabled | ## Images ![Electric Motors and Drives: Fundamentals, Types and Applications - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51QYgaH4K4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent, Practical Technical Book *by C***C on October 26, 2013* This is a very good technical book on electric machines and drives, probably one of the best I've ever read.

An easy read and extremely well written. Gets the points across without getting too bogged down in the equations. The math presented is necessary to get the points across to the reader (its just basic algebra). This is a must read for motor and drive related design activities and for application. Well done. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/106777793-electric-motors-and-drives-fundamentals-types-and-applications](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/106777793-electric-motors-and-drives-fundamentals-types-and-applications) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
