Looking for some learning literature for motors

[cprfenom]

Hi all,

I am looking to take a Red Seal exam to start my process to move to Canada as a skilled trade.

Here, I don't do much with motors, but there its more prevalent in the exams.

Does anyone have any advice or suggestions for web research or books I can use to give me guidence?

I have this posted in the resource section Guidance Notes on Motors - https://www.electriciansforums.co.uk/resources/guidance-notes-on-motors.57/ if it helps.

Two academic books I used are:

The performance and design of direct current machines by Clayton

and

The Performance and Design of Alternating Current Machines: Transformers, Three-phase Induction Motors and Synchronous Machines by Say.

You can pick up second hand copies.

If you really want to really know about motors go to your library and take out Electric Motor Repair. Robert Rosenberg is the author. This book is full of circuit diagrams AC and DC, and is US based but relevant here in UK. Its expensive that is why I said got to the library, about £90, available second hand.
