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 ...

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.

The power of a synchronous motor depends directly on the load angle: the greater the load angle, the more torque, which determines the power by the speed specified by the input gear and the ...

The topic of motors and motor control techniques is wide and varied. Part one of this two-part article will cover the principles of alternating-current (AC) motor operation and control. Part two will ...

Since AC induction motors have been established as the preferred choice for industrial motors and the need for reduced power in all aspects of design is ever present, the efficiency of these motors is ...

Danfoss Power Solutions has announced the launch of its Editron EM-PMI180 low-voltage electric motor. The 48-volt synchronous reluctance assisted permanent magnet (SRPM) motor is designed to drive a ...
