By Augie Hand
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW TO KEEP ELECTRIC MOTORS RUNNING
SMOOTHLY AND MINIMIZE COSTLY DOWNTIME!
Here’s the ideal resource for anyone who has to purchase, teach,
install, troubleshoot, perform limited repairs on, or maintain
industrial-size electric motors.
Expert author Augie Hand uses clear, jargon-free language and
time-saving flow charts -- minus the complicated math to help you
decide whether to replace a motor, take it off line for repair, or
repair it in place – decisions that can make the difference between
profitability and loss. Augie also includes an invaluable host of
troubleshooting tricks and procedures gleaned from over forty years
in the field to cover electric motors from top to bottom as only an
insider can.
Knowing the necessity of having a complete understanding of how a
motor works, the author provides a thorough overview of each motor
type’s components and operation. He then goes on to offer
time-tested procedures for determining and correcting any type of
problem. Troubleshooting examples make the concepts crystal-clear,
and review questions at the end of each chapter reinforce the
lesson. Augie also delves into crucial safety issues everyone in the
field should be familiar with.
