AC drives offer significant market opportunities due to their role in enhancing energy efficiency and supporting automation and sustainable practices. Key growth drivers include their applicability in ...

RS, a high-service global product and service solutions provider for industrial customers, offers Schneider Electric's ...

“A bunch of things are coming together.” That's how V Sukumar, a senior applications manager for Fairchild Semiconductor, begins a discussion of trends in motor control for the white-goods market.

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 ...

Once the control method of choice only in high-performance industrial ac-servo drives, FOC (field-oriented control) is finding its way into lower end industrial and many appliance applications with ...

Choosing the right motor and VFD type depends on a variety of factors, however, it is necessary to first look at how the characteristics of a motor change when the speed is reduced —Sponsored article ...

Speed, torque, and horsepower are three inter-related parameters in motor control. The speed of a motor, measured in revolutions per minute (rpm), defines a motor's ability to spin at a rate per unit ...

The way we control the speed of fan motors or pump motors has tremendously changed in the past two decades with the introduction of variable-frequency drives (VFDs), aka variable-frequency controllers ...

ON Semiconductor has introduced a motor development kit for motors up to 4kW, and soon to 10kW. “In order to improve efficiency, ac induction motor drives designers must understand how these and other ...

Note: This specialization requires purchase of a hardware kit in order to apply your knowledge and skill with real world tools. The hardware will be used to complete the lab exercises across the four ...
