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 ...

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 ...

This solid-state thyristor (SCR) switch circuit is perhaps the simplest means of reversing a 3 phase motor. “Static” is a catch-all term that essentially means without moving (mechanical) contacts ...

The internal combustion engine is found in traditional cars as the main traction element disappears and is replaced by new solutions, with electric motor and batteries at the center of the scene. This ...

In the original version of this article, the second figure contained an error. The image has been updated. It’s important for engineers to have a good, working ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Motors are rated by the output power they can produce over a given time period without overheating. These ratings are ...
