Jones & Bartlett LearningJones & Bartlett Learning Ugly's Electric Motors Controls, 2017 Edition

good reference

Good, but a fair amount of redundancy with the Ugly's general electrical book.Update: 2-18-2018After using this book for a while, after my original review, I have found that even though there is some redundancy with the general electrical book, it has some very important tables when it comes to sizing your branch circuit conductors and branch circuit protection in regard to motors. These tables are typically part of the NEC electrical code book which comes with a hefty price. For this reason alone, I have increased my rating from 4 to 5 stars. One table in particular has done all the calculations for you and lists the proper breaker, fuse and conductor sizes based on horsepower. Well worth it.

When you can't just Google something, this book has it all. Must have for folks who don't have internet access on the job.

Great for work, a good reference... LOTS of information in point/easy to understand form. Excellent.

Every tech, electrician, engineer needs to keep a copy of this in his/her tool box for reference. Lots of information in this book. You also need to get the Ugly's Electrical References book, too. It's another great tool box addition!
