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 ...

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 ...

Apple is working on a three-phase AC induction motor suitable for an Apple Car, implementing the same basic engineering and motor design principles that Tesla uses. Titled "Electric motor with bar ...

A dc motor driving an ac alternator was used to simulate an asynchronous wind electric generator. The output was used to drive a commercial air conditioning unit containing a hermetically sealed three ...

Here are the power and driver boards that [Miceuz] designed to control a three-phase induction motor. This is his first time building such a setup and he learned a lot along the way. He admits it’s ...

Early incarnations of the electric motor first appeared in the 1740s through the work of Scottish Benedictine monk and scientist, Andrew Gordon. Other scientists such as Michael Faraday and Joseph ...

This solid-state thyristor (SCR) switch circuit is perhaps the simplest means of reversing a 3 phase motor. “Static” is a catch-all term that essentially means without moving (mechanical) contacts ...

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 ...

Nikesh Kooverjee has been contributing to the automotive sphere for 11 years. His previous roles include Digital Editor at CAR South Africa and associate editor at CarBuzz. He has always had a strong ...
