Basic electrical engineering for motor manufacturing

There are many individuals engaged in the manufacture of electric motors that do not possess a formal college based engineering education. These individuals have worked in the industry for many years and have pragmatically gained their skills through experiences they have encountered on the manufacturing floor. This paper has been written to provide this group of individuals with an elementary understanding of the most basic electrical engineering concepts required to facilitate the motor manufacturing process. The paper uses a practical approach to the presentation of electrical engineering concepts rather than a theoretical approach. These individuals should be able to utilize these concepts to better perform their daily duties.
