Electric fans commonly use low-cost AC motors built around capacitors, which now increasingly demand replacement due to high power consumption. However, while three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors ...

The principle of vector control of electrical drives is based on the control of both the magnitude and the phase of each phase current and voltage. For as long as this type of control considers the ...

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 ...

The AC induction motor is often referred to as the workhorse of the industry because it offers users simple, rugged construction, easy maintenance, and cost-effective pricing. These factors have ...

The consequences can be costly, ranging from production downtime to compromised equipment and even safety hazards. Certainly, capacitors are indeed responsible for 30% of power electronics failures, ...

A motor control IC is a convenient way to implement custom motor drive algorithms such as the single-phase induction motor (SPIM) control. A generalized control algorithm, implemented and tested in an ...

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) ...

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 fully solid state starters are simple and easy to set up, requiring just two user adjustments: the motor ramp-up time and initial torque, which can be independently adjusted via the built-in ...
