Review
This handbook makes a natural companion for the Electric Motor Handbook, as readers are presented with a manual that outlines the diagnosis, testing and maintenance of various forms of electrical equipment. Appropriate as a teaching text, and also as a 'bench' reference for the professional technician who will be able to rely on this material to assist in trouble-shooting and repairs. Highly recommended to both college and public sector libraries as a general reference text. (Electric Review )
