Like New — packaging may have been opened. A "Like New" item is suitable to give as a gift.
Very Good — may have minor signs of wear on packaging but item works perfectly and has no damage.
Good — item is in good condition but packaging may have signs of shelf wear/aging or torn packaging. All specific defects should be noted in the Comments section associated with each item.
Acceptable — item is in working order but may show signs of wear such as scratches or torn packaging. All specific defects should be noted in the Comments section associated with each item.
Used — An item that has been opened and may show signs of wear. All specific defects should be noted in the Comments section associated with each item.
Refurbished — A used item that has been renewed or updated and verified to be in proper working condition. Not necessarily completed by the original manufacturer.
Encouraged by the response to the first edition and to keep pace with recent developments, Fundamentals of Electrical Drives, Second Edition incorporates greater details on semi-conductor controlled drives, includes coverage of permanent magnet AC motor drives and switched reluctance motor drives, and highlights new trends in drive technology.
Contents were chosen to satisfy the changing needs of the industry and provide the appropriate coverage of modern and conventional drives. With the large number of examples, problems, and solutions provided, Fundamentals of Electrical Drives, Second Edition will continue to be a useful reference for practicing engineers and for those preparing for Engineering Service Examinations.
