Ugly's Electric Motors & Controls, 2017 Edition 3rd Edition

Good, but a fair amount of redundancy with the Ugly's general electrical book.Update: 2-18-2018After using this book for a while, after my original review, I have found that even though there is some redundancy with the general electrical book, it has some very important tables when it comes to sizing your branch circuit conductors and branch circuit protection in regard to motors. These tables are typically part of the NEC electrical code book which comes with a hefty price. For this reason alone, I have increased my rating from 4 to 5 stars. One table in particular has done all the calculations for you and lists the proper breaker, fuse and conductor sizes based on horsepower. Well worth it.

Every tech, electrician, engineer needs to keep a copy of this in his/her tool box for reference. Lots of information in this book. You also need to get the Ugly's Electrical References book, too. It's another great tool box addition!

When you can't just Google something, this book has it all. Must have for folks who don't have internet access on the job.

A lot of the information is repetitive but it’s still a good book to have out In the field. A quick reference guide that’s small enough to have on person but big enough that the font isn’t to small. The cover does rip a little easy so I suggest keeping it somewhere safe in your bag and possibly in a waterproof bag or ziplock bag.

Very useful at home and at work. Easy to understand. Very practical. I have two of them and both are great. Must have for the professional and DIYer

It's a helpful book if you work around industrial electrical. Plenty of useful tips and diagrams that I don't believe are in the regular edition.

Excellent just what I expected, good size and good material will last me a long time, just got into the field and this will be an extreemly valuable help to remember all those formulas.

uglys is the best of the best when it comes to reference material. will be a customer forever.
