Electric drives require effective protection against overloads and short circuits. Both phenomena cause motor disruption and create a risk of damage to the motor. This could lead to a potentially ...

Having both 3-phase and single-phase loads can be challenging when trying to balance the voltages at a facility. It’s possible that during a facilities operation, one phase can be lightly loaded ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

NEC Electronics’ (distribution: Gleichmann Electronics) two new 3-phase control device families, V850E/IF3 and V850E/IG3, open up all kinds of new application possibilities. Key features of these ...
