Outstanding Book.

I found this book to be superbly written. The author covers all aspects of thyrister controlled converters and inverters. He has tremendous knowledge of the subjet.After reading this book, I've come to completely understand particular characteristics of electric motors. Some examples are: the four quadrant operation of motors; dynamic and regenerative braking, and the difference between the two; and voltage control of motors.Although I've worked with wound rotor motors I've never seen one with a "slip power energy recovery scheme". This book details such schemes which is very interesting.The cycloconverter is shown throughout this book which I find extremely interesting. Siemens uses the cycloconverter in their marine electric propulsion systems. I now know more about the cycloconverter.This is one outstanding book.
