From the reviews:
"This book on fundamentals of electrical drives provides the background of modern electrical drives. . The uniqueness of this book is that the authors use generic models to represent drive components. . This would be a great book for electrical engineers learning about electric drives and could also be used for a course in electrical drives . ."
