Motor Theory Book
Motor Theory Book
(OP)
Can anyone reccomend a good book to pickup on induction motor theory. I'm looking to get an in depth knowledge on induction motor theory and applications.

RE: Motor Theory Book
Principles of Electric Machines and Power Electronics by P. C. Sen
Electrical Machines, Drives, and Power Systems by Theodore Wildi
Both are good electric machines texts although neither are specifically on induction machines as they cover DC and sycnhronous types as well. The former is largely based in the 50Hz world, latter in the 60Hz world but it doesn't really make much difference from the theory perspective.
What level of knowledge are you starting from?

For a good overview of application, operation, and maintenance, I would recommend Managing Motors by Nailen.

My level of knowledge is somewhere in-between intermediate to novice. I have been working around mostly induction motors for about 2 years so have a general knowlege of how these motors work.
I wanted to gain a more in-depth understanding of the electromagnetic theory that is going on inside a motor to gain a more complete understanding.
When I mention application, I want to be able to understand them more for troubleshooting, interpreting datasheets and setting relays, use on VFD's, and mechanical torque.

If you don't have one, it would be a good investment. I also have the Fitzgerald, Kingsley, Umans book.

ISBN 0-7506-4718-3
The additional info on drives and their interaction with motors was also a big help for me.
Hope that helps.

P.C.Sen was my professor during school at Queen's University in Canada...small world. It is good to see that his work is appreciated.
RE: Motor Theory Book
It's one of the books I usually reach first for when I need a reminder of something I used to know. I've certainly had my money's worth out of it.
He must be be retired by now - he isn't young in the photo in the book, and I've had it sixteen or seventeen years now.

If you may understand German this is the classical European motor design theory.

Birkhäuser Verlag, Basel und Stuttgart, German. 440 p. (In German).
