Compressor overheating is one of the industry's most serious field problems today. Compressor overheating is usually caused by high compression ratios. High compression ratios can be caused by a ...

In power distribution systems, three-phase transformer configuration directly impacts system reliability and load management.

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 ...

Many power-consuming devices such as single-phase motors are designed for dual-voltage operation. Figure 1 shows a solenoid valve with four different colored wires coming from its wire housing. Figure ...

DC motors come in many forms, but they all have the same job: turning electrical energy (DC) into mechanical energy. Although DC motors have a common operating principle, many applications—including ...

This application note presents Z16FMC microcontroller used to control 3-phase brushless BLDC motors in a sinusoidal PWM modulation mode. It discusses the ways in which to implement sinusoidal PWM ...

Somewhere in most engineering educations, there’s a class on induction motors. Students learn about shaded-pole motors, two-phase and three-phase motors, squirrel cage motors, and DC-excited motors.

The average efficiency of an internal combustion engine in real-world operation is measured at around 20 percent. 80 percent is lost as waste heat, of which only a small proportion is useful in winter ...

What consumes more than half of the world's electricity and supports nearly every facet of industrial production? The answer is the AC induction motor. Although these motors typically tolerate ...
