Mouser Electronics, Inc., is helping engineers stay ahead in motor control design with its online motor control resource center. Advanced motor control seeks to precisely regulate a motor's speed, ...

Electric fans commonly use low-cost AC motors built around capacitors, which now increasingly demand replacement due to high power consumption. However, while three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors ...

Single-phase and 3-phase AC squirrel cage induction motors need some type of control circuit to initiate a start or stop function. The two types of ladder control circuits commonly used are the 2-wire ...

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 ...

Insistent demand for energy-saving industrial and home appliances has recently escalated because of energy and environmental matter and the necessity to comply with new energy consumption regulations.

The fully solid state starters are simple and easy to set up, requiring just two user adjustments: the motor ramp-up time and initial torque, which can be independently adjusted via the built-in ...

Each motor branch circuit must be protected against short circuit and ground faults by an overcurrent device sized no greater than the percentages listed in Table 430.52. A branch-circuit ...
