Today, compressor overheating is one of the HVACR industry’s most serious field problems. Compressor overheating is usually caused from high compression ratios. High compression ratios can be caused ...

Although an increasing interest and use of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) can be observed during the last decade, the standard 3-phase Induction Motor (IM) is still the most widely used ...

The MLX81300 is the first member of a family of LIN motor drivers. For positioning applications the MLX81300 can control 3 phase steppers with low noise microstepping, as well as DC motors.

Selection of replacement motors is usually straightforward if the ratings are equivalent. Sometimes, however, a different type of motor is necessary or desirable. For success in these cases, it is ...

One of the hidden complications of upgrading grain drying and handling systems is providing enough electricity to power the new larger electric motors. Electric motors that are larger than 15 hp ...

Having both 3-phase and single-phase loads can be challenging when trying to balance the voltages at a facility. It’s possible that during a facilities operation, one phase can be lightly loaded ...

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 ...

Renesas has announced its RX111 motor control kits. These inverter reference solution kits are designed to drive any three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM), also called brushless AC ...

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 ...
