The topic of motors and motor control techniques is wide and varied. Part one of this two-part article will cover the principles of alternating-current (AC) motor operation and control. Part two will ...

The Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) is widely used in various industries due to its high power density, smaller size, and higher efficiency. For applications which require fast dynamic ...

Motor control ICs deliver higher efficiency, along with AI/ML functionality for improvements in predictive maintenance.

Speed, torque, and horsepower are three inter-related parameters in motor control. The speed of a motor, measured in revolutions per minute (rpm), defines a motor's ability to spin at a rate per unit ...

Sophisticated motor control is no longer the sole province of custom hardware and proprietary control techniques. Advances in powerful, low-cost digital-signal controllers (DSCs) let designers use ...

Combining the advantages of permanent magnet and induction motors, new synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM) offer potentially breakthrough technology for variable speed drive (VSD) and motor packages ...

Choosing the right motor and VFD type depends on a variety of factors, however, it is necessary to first look at how the characteristics of a motor change when the speed is reduced —Sponsored article ...

Choosing the right motor and VFD type depends on a variety of factors; however, it is necessary to analyze how the motor changes when the speed is reduced. The experts at eMotors Direct outline ...
