Product Review
"This is a very practical reference book on motor/generator insulation design and repair, and it is sure to become a well-used classic by those who design, maintain, and repair large rotating machines." (IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, May/June 2004, Vol. 20, No. 3)

"Clearly written and easily understoodthis book is a valuable companion to the 1977 Rejda-Neville Industrial Motor Users' Handbook of Insulation for Rewids" (Electrical Apparatus, March 2004)

Product Description
A single comprehensive resource for the design, application, testing, and maintenance of rotating machines

Filling a long-standing gap in the field, Electrical Insulation for Rotating Machines covers, in one useful volume, all aspects of the design, deterioration, testing, and repair of the electrical insulation used in motors and generators. Lucidly written by leading experts, this authoritative reference provides both historical background important to understanding machine insulation design and the most up-to-date information on new machines and how to select insulation systems for them.

Coverage includes such key topics as:

Types of rotating machines, windings, and rotor and stator winding construction
Evaluating insulation materials and systems
Stator winding and rotor winding insulation systems in current use
Failure mechanisms and repair
Testing and monitoring
Maintenance strategies

Detailing over thirty different rotor and stator winding failure processes and reviewing almost 25 different tests and monitors used to assess winding insulation condition, Electrical Insulation for Rotating Machines will help machine users avoid unnecessary machine failures, reduce maintenance costs, and inspire greater confidence in the design of future machines.

Reader Reviews
This book really leads you to a complete picture of the insulation systems for the electrical generators.It really gives you from the basic to the advanced knowledge and could be read from everybody interested in this area.Recommended. Comment | | (Report this)
