"This is a very practical reference book on motor/generator insulation design and repair, and it is sure to become a well-used classic by those who design, maintain, and repair large rotating machines." (IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, May/June 2004, Vol. 20, No. 3)

"Clearly written and easily understood...this book is a valuable companion to the 1977 Rejda-Neville Industrial Motor Users' Handbook of Insulation for Rewids..." (Electrical Apparatus, March 2004)
