Electrical insulation for rotating machines: design, evaluation,
aging, testing, and repair. A John Wiley & sons, Inc. , 2004. - 389
p.
This book arose out of the conviction that both designers and users of large motors and generators would appreciate a single reference work about the electrical insulation systems used in rotating machines. We also wanted to document how and why the insulation systems in current use came to be. Since rotating machine insulation is not the most glamorous field of study in the engineering world, it is sometimes treated as an afterthought. The result has been a gradual loss of knowledge as innovators in the field have retired, with few new people specializing in it. We hope that the archiving of the information in this book will slow this gradual loss of knowledge and be a useful starting point for future innovations.
