Buen libro sobre automatismos y control

[East Bay J]

I had been told I needed the 5th edition of this book for my Motors and Drives class, only to find out, once I'd purchased that edition used for a hefty fee, that I actually needed the 4th edition. Fortunately, I was able to find this edition, also used, for pretty cheap, preventing my head from exploding.

I had no experience with motors and drives and the related technology, so it was with a great deal of relief that I found this book to be informative and straightforward. I had no choice but to take this class to complete my electrical arts coursework and Electrical Motor Controls helped make sense of a plethora of ideas and concepts that, at times, had my head spinning. This was easily the most difficult, complicated course I took and this book helped. It has plenty of good illustrations, tables and diagrams and is fairly easy to understand.
