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 ...

A Z-source Inverter (ZSI) is a DC-to-AC converter that can perform both buck and boost functions as a single stage. A unique attempt of ZSI is the shoot through state, by which two switches of the ...

Sales of dishwashers have skyrocketed in India during the Covid-19 lockdown. Power Integrations’ BridgeSwitch half-bridge motor driver ICs are well-suited for single-phase motor drive applications ...

Single- and three-phase alternating current (AC) motor speed can be controlled by controlling the frequency of the voltage coming to it. Motor speed has a lot to do with the capacity of refrigeration ...

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Power Integrations (Nasdaq: POWI), the leader in high-voltage integrated circuits for energy-efficient power conversion, today released its Motor-Expert software, an ...

Matching drive to motor is essential to gain the best combination of torque, speed, and efficiency. Selecting the right drive is essential to getting the best performance and efficiency from an ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Electric drives consume a tremendous amount of energy in most manufacturing facilities. Virtually every automated ...

While software and other advanced technologies often capture the automation technology spotlight, the fact remains that not much happens in the manufacturing or processing industries without motors.

Adjustable-frequency drives have been billed as an energy efficient way to drive three-phase ac induction motors. Nevertheless, designers should understand that motors fed by inverter power experience ...
