I want to be able so select the right motors for the right
applications. Very often people
choose motors on behalf of their experience only, not knowing why and
how. This bothers me. I want to be able to select motors such as Shunt
DC Motors, Compound Motors, Permanent-Magnet Motors, Capacitor-Start
Motor, Shaded-Pole Motor, hysteresis motors, induction motors, and all
the other small weird motors found in fridges, hard disc drives etc
etc.

So far I have come to the following conclusion:

1. I need a book where all the different motors are shown with their
characteristics (torque/power/current curves).
2. The controls have to be explained too. Controlling a motor in a
different way completely changes it's characteristics (curves).
3. The book can be in either english or german.

I have browsed numerous books on the topic without any luck. Does
anybody know of some good literature?
