This publication is available in printed and CD-ROM versions. Every service center should have a copy for quick reference. Others who will want a copy include anyone interested in understanding motor failures and those who want to serve customers by addressing the cause of failure rather than the symptom. The publication was developed to help electric motor technicians and engineers prevent repeated failures by determining the root cause of the problem. With more than 270 pages, the book provides extensive information, including photos of a wide range of failures, the likely causes listed, and a clear methodology for confirming the probable cause of each failure. The printed manual is in black-and-white, while the CD version shows most failure photos in color. If you must choose between one or the other, we encourage you to buy the CD and then print pages as necessary. This is an excellent tool to demonstrate to your customers the likely cause(s) of failure.

The instructional/resource manual used in EASA's "Fundamentals of DC Operation & Repair Tips" seminar is now available for purchase in printed and CD-ROM versions. Previously these materials were available only to seminar attendees. EASA service centers should make this resource available to supervisors, mechanics, winders, salespeople and field service technicians. It will benefit anyone involved in the repair of DC motors and generators. This publication covers DC machine theory without complex mathematical formulas. It also covers operation as well as repair procedures and tips collected over a number of years. While many texts about DC machines explain how they should work, this material actually covers the problems and failures that a repair technician might encounter. Seminar attendees agree: This is "absolutely the best DC resource available to our industry."
