The required reference data on construction materials and fabrication methods is also there. Definitely recommended reading for people directly involved in the design, operation and technical maintenance of the subject motors and trying to find the best cost-effective solutions.

An excellent manual prepared by the professionals team of the Stanford Power Generation company. The publication contains the useful technical information concerning the recommended instruments for electrical metering and testing, provides readers with explanation of the commonly used electrical terminology and popular abbreviations; of course, as it is implied by the title of the manual, the main focus in it has been made by the authors on the generator fault finding methods - note that for the purpose of this publication, subject methods have been divided into two main groups - the group A includes the methods applicable to all generators while the group B is described in two separate chapters.

The first one is dedicated to the self-excited generators only - in this case the AVR, i.e. automatic voltage regulator, is being powered from the generator output; the second one addresses the separately excited generators, and in this case the AVR powers from the permanent magnet generator. Finally, the closing chapter of the book provides instructions on parallel operation and fault finding that are applicable to all generators. The manual will be useful for ship mechanics and electricians dealing with the maintenance of the generators.

The ultimate purpose of the present training source was is to provide all hydraulics technicians with enough basic knowledge on electrical/electronic circuits and supplement it with some practical exercises for easier finding and remedy of the failures that may occur in integrated hydraulic and electrical installations/systems.

However, we are not intending to make anyone believe that the present publication may enable them immediately start the repair of the electrical equipment straight upon completion of the material provided in its pages. The document has been divided by the authors in the several chapters, with the first one providing the very basic information required to any specialist. The second chapter deals with the electric units - their designation, assigned symbols, abbreviations etc.

Then there goes a chapter dedicated to the active and passive components of any electronic hardware, followed by the chapter on the coils and capacitors, describing the capacity, charge and discharge, phase shifts, series and parallel connection, marking and application, speed-up etc; resonance circuits and transformers have also been addressed here. The rest of the chapters in this book deal with the semi-conductors, transistors, operational amplifiers, troubleshooting, and Danfoss hydraulics.

This is a best-selling handbook offering the step-by-step procedures for solving a huge number of the electric problems to the electricians and technicians.
