A single comprehensive resource for the design, application,testing, and maintenance of rotating machines
Filling a long-standing gap in the field, ElectricalInsulation for Rotating Machines covers, in one useful volume,all aspects of the design, deterioration, testing, and repair ofthe electrical insulation used in motors and generators. Lucidlywritten by leading experts, this authoritative reference providesboth historical background important to understanding machineinsulation design and the most up-to-date information on newmachines and how to select insulation systems for them.
Coverage includes such key topics as:
* Types of rotating machines, windings, and rotor and statorwinding construction
* Evaluating insulation materials and systems
* Stator winding and rotor winding insulation systems in currentuse
* Failure mechanisms and repair
* Testing and monitoring
* Maintenance strategies
Detailing over 30 different rotor and stator winding failureprocesses and reviewing almost 25 different tests and monitors usedto assess winding insulation condition, Electrical Insulationfor Rotating Machines will help machine users avoid unnecessarymachine failures, reduce maintenance costs, and inspire greaterconfidence in the design of future machines.

"This is a very practical reference book on motor/generatorinsulation design and repair, and it is sure to become a well-usedclassic by those who design, maintain, and repair large rotatingmachines." (IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, May/June2004, Vol. 20, No. 3)
"Clearly written and easily understood.this book is a valuablecompanion to the 1977 Rejda-Neville Industrial Motor Users'Handbook of Insulation for Rewids." (ElectricalApparatus, March 2004)
