A series of three-phase induction motor softstarters prevents motors from experiencing the stress of high inrush currents (typically six to nine times nominal values) that can cause electrical and ...

Small and medium AC induction motors account for more than 75% of motor electrical energy demand; however, they typically receive less maintenance than their larger counterparts. This leaves them ...

Magnetic-free dual-coil technology can create a high-resolution, precise, and reliable solution for motor position sensors used in robotics, industrial, and medical devices. The need for accuracy and ...

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 ...

Induction machines are widely shunned for EV propulsion because of their lower peak efficiency and larger volume and mass. DSD has set out to explore the viability of a high efficiency high specific ...

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 ...
