Electric Motor Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Everything You Need To Know To Keep Electric Motors Running Smoothly and Minimize Costly Downtime

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.

Electric Motor Maintenance & Troubleshooting reflects the author’s firm belief that every problem has an explanation and a solution.
