Motor Troubles: The Tracing Of Direct-Current And Alternating-Current Motor Troubles And The Testing Of Direct-Current And Alternating-Current Machinery (1908)

Motor Troubles is a comprehensive guidebook written by Edward Brackett Raymond in 1908 that provides a detailed account of the tracing and testing of direct-current and alternating-current motor troubles. The book is divided into two parts, the first part being dedicated to the tracing of motor troubles, while the second part deals with the testing of motor machinery. The first part of the book covers the tracing of direct-current motor troubles, including the identification of faults in the commutator, brushes, armature, field winding, and other components. The author also discusses the various methods used to test for these faults, such as the drop test, insulation resistance test, and the use of a voltmeter and ammeter. The second part of the book focuses on the testing of direct-current and alternating-current machinery. The author provides a detailed explanation of the various types of tests that can be performed, including the open-circuit test, short-circuit test, and the load test. The book also covers the use of instruments such as the wattmeter, voltmeter, ammeter, and tachometer in testing motor machinery. Overall, Motor Troubles is a valuable resource for anyone involved in the maintenance and repair of direct-current and alternating-current motor machinery. The book is written in a clear and concise manner, making it accessible to both beginners and experienced technicians.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
