A recent study, led by Runze Jing, summarized field weakening (FW) control strategies into calculation-based methods, voltage closed-loop control methods, and model predictive control-related methods.

Full-voltage, single-speed motor starters: Single-speed squirrel-cage motors have starters that fall into two categories: full-voltage or across-the-line starters; and reduced-voltage starters.

The purpose of this application note is to illustrate a software-based implementation of sensorless, field oriented control for permanent magnet synchronous motors using Microchip digital signal ...

The two most important electric motors are the ac induction motor and the permanent magnet (PM) brushless synchronous motor, also known as the brushless dc or ac servo motor. These motors have ...

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 ...

There is a constant need and desire throughout the HVAC industry to spur innovation and create new products and ideas that can redefine the marketplace. In the realm of motors, the permanent magnet ...
