Disaster This book is all what maintenance people don't need: tones of vague explanations that should show author's broad knowledge, but are very complicated and incomplete at the same time - and no practice at alll. Authors all the time state that broader explanations should be searched for somewhere else. But then why to introduce so many complex terms, for instance in chapter dedicated to variable frequence drives, and then not to finish a single theme in a manner anybody could use it in practice. Talking about practice - practical tips in 750 pages book stated as handbook for maintenance people are squezeed in no more then 2 pages of very general talk. And what about theory? In addition to what is mentioned for variable frequency drive here is an exemple how authors cover grounding: one or two sentences like "grounding is good measure for protection and you can find details in NEC" (!!!) I could find many different examples, but the "thin line" in the book is a feeling that it was never intended to be useful to anybody but the authors that want to make many on careless buyers (like myself sometimes). To conclude, maintenance people should totally avoid this book. And what a price! You can find valuable maintenance books full of practical tips, experience and cleverly explained theoretical thems important in maintenance for $20 (IPT or Audel books) and look at the price of this book! I would really like to sell my copy but it would be unfair not to warn possible buyer... | ||
