John wiley & sons inc Electrical insulation for rotating machines - design, evaluation, aging, testing, and repair 2e (John Wiley & Sons Inc)

The last ten years have seen a relentless drive to reduce the cost of motors and generators. Responding to this need, this revised and updated edition covers all aspects in the design, deterioration, testing, and repair of the electrical insulation used in all motors and generators greater than fractional horsepower size. The coverage offers machine users and designers a historical overview of machine insulation design before discussing insulation for new machines. It then lays out 30 different rotor and stator winding failure processes and their solutions and 25 tests for assessing winding insulation.
