Review:
Sets an Excellent Standard
I have three standard ****books on electric machines, and the best
one by far is Stephen Chapman’s Electric Machinery Fundamentals
(fourth edition). Chapman has the rare ability to strike a golden
balance between theory and practice, and between rigour and
informality, such that the theoretical actually illuminates the
practical. His discussion on power transformers is the best I have
seen anywhere, and he maintains that same high quality throughout
the book. Along the way, he has even managed to correct a subtle
misconception that I had held for several years concerning Lenz’s
law. The print quality is superb and the diagrams are sharp and
clear. I would like to answer a comment that another reviewer had
against this book, namely, that this book uses log or semilog scales.
I think we should be grateful that Mr. Chapman had the good
judgment to use log or semilog scales, or else we are going to have
a book that is hundreds of miles long and wide.
