Selection of replacement motors is usually straightforward if the ratings are equivalent. Sometimes, however, a different type of motor is necessary or desirable. For success in these cases, it is ...

A single-speed motor has one rated speed at which it runs when supplied with the nameplate voltage and frequency. A multispeed motor will run at more than one speed depending on how you connect it to ...

PSC motors rely on the rotating magnetic field that is generated by the applied alternating voltage and corresponding alternating current to turn the rotor. The magnetic field rotates at 3,600 rpm (60 ...

Although an increasing interest and use of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) can be observed during the last decade, the standard 3-phase Induction Motor (IM) is still the most widely used ...

Today, compressor overheating is one of the HVACR industry’s most serious field problems. Compressor overheating is usually caused from high compression ratios. High compression ratios can be caused ...

The flux-oriented control (FOC) is a commonly used technique for three-phase electric motor control application. Here, the applied voltage pattern is defined using the space vector modulation (SVM) ...

The thyristor d.c. drive remains an important speed-controlled industrial drive, especially where the higher maintenance cost associated with the d.c. motor brushes (c.f. induction motor) is tolerable ...

Every day engineers design products that employ single-phase induction motors. Speed control of single-phase induction motors is desirable in most motor control applications since it not only provides ...

BLDC FOC 2 Click is a new motor control Click board from MIKROE. The compact Click add-on boards allow developers to provide proof-of-concept rapidly, then prototype and code new embedded projects.
