Single-phase and 3-phase AC squirrel cage induction motors need some type of control circuit to initiate a start or stop function. The two types of ladder control circuits commonly used are the 2-wire ...

In Part 1 of this two-part series, we presented a 3-phase, 480VAC motor circuit with its associated controls (Figure). We stepped through a logical, systematic approach to troubleshoot the main power ...

It ‘s worth noting that back EMF plays a critical role as a natural current limiter during normal motor operation. When motor ...

Electric motors, which convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, play an essential role in a variety of industrial and robotics applications. Given that electric motors account for ...

Groomed for use in small-motor control circuits, the HSF series surface-mount, surge resistor exploits a cylindrical design to aid heat dissipation and produce higher surge/pulse capabilities than ...

As with internal-combustion vehicles, the advantages of all-wheel drive for electric vehicles have been obvious from the start as has been the potential to provide multiple motors, ideally one for ...

Genius ideas usually are so simple you start to wonder after seeing them: Why did no one think about this before? This is precisely what we felt after seeing what Infinitum Electric has created: a ...
