The Navy Electricity and Electronics Training Series (NEETS)has guided generations of sailors and students through the fundamentals of electricity and electronics. Written with the expertise of seasoned Navy technicians, the series was designed for clear, step-by-step self-study. Each module breaks down complex ideas into digestible lessons, making it an invaluable resource for both beginners and those seeking to refresh their knowledge. With its structured progression and practical approach, NEETS continues to stand as one of the most trusted foundations in electrical and electronic training.
Book 5, Introduction to Generators and Motors, explores the essential principles behind these vital machines. Covering both AC and DC systems, it explains how electrical and mechanical energy are converted, applied, and maintained across real-world scenarios. From the fundamentals of power generation to the operation of motors in everyday equipment, this module equips readers with a solid grounding in the technologies that drive modern industry and defense. Whether for study, reference, or professional development, this book provides a clear pathway to mastering one of the cornerstones of electrical engineering.
This is the 3rd of 24 modules in the Navy Electricity and Electronics Training Series (NEETS), a comprehensive program originally developed by the U.S. Navy and approved for public release. Each book stands on its own as a self-study manual but is best experienced as part of the complete series, covering everything from basic electricity to advanced radar, communications, and fiber optics.
