This simple and objective guide was created by WEG to help those who buy, sell and work with such equipment. It brings important information for the operation of various types of motors.
The presentation in this guide is as simple as it can be that it has provide layman's analogies to engineering concepts. This reference is recommended to new Electrical Engineers who want to expound their knowledge in electric motors. Likewise to seasoned Electrical Engineers who are specifying electric motors for their projects.
The discussion are divided into 14 chapters beginning on electric motors fundamentals up to testing and International Standards references.
