We are at a critical time and supporting climate journalism is more important than ever. Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen environmental ...

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 ...

The induction motors has been widely used in various industries due to its robustness maintenance free operation, better efficiency and lower cost. In different industries, wide range of speed control ...

AC induction motors are everywhere, from ceiling fans to vehicles. They’re reliable, simple, and rugged — but there are some disadvantages. It’s difficult to control the speed without complex ...

There are several reasons to use a three-phase inverter to run a single-phase induction motor, including isolation from variable power grids, reduction of peak currents and elimination of the starting ...

From tiny hysteresis motors that drive electric clocks to huge synchronous motors that develop more than 50,000 hp, the alternating current (AC) motor has become an indispensable part of everyday life ...

This document written by Steve Bowling, Application Segments Engineer at Microchip Technology, discusses how motor works and describes the AC induction motor, variable-speed ACIM control, and FOC.

Continuing headlines about superefficient electric drives might lead some observers to wonder about the future of three-phase induction motors. The truth is that induction motors aren’t going away any ...

HIOKI recently announced the launch of the Impulse Winding Tester ST4030, which is the company’s first instrument to provide functionality for testing for defects in motor windings. HIOKI provides a ...
