Don't let failing oxygen sensors compromise your engine's performance. O2 sensors are critical to emissions control on your car, SUV or truck. As the name implies, the O2 sensor (also called an ...

In the first installment of this series, "Calculating a practical hotspot safety margin", we discussed how two-parameter thermal models assume that the entire motor, including windings, exhibits one ...

In its exhibit at PACK EXPO Connects, ABB featured its Baldor-Reliance EC Titanium motor drive and smart sensors for OEMs and end users. Primarily targeted at OEMs, the Baldor-Reliance EC Titanium ...

The engine test stands used with advanced data-acquisition systems require a different type of pressure sensor than those used in the past. Engine hydraulics and pneumatics operate faster and often, ...

As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...

This application note presents BLDC motor control using sensor sinusoidal PWM modulation with Z32F128 microcontroller. It also discusses ways on how to implement sinusoidal PWM modulation and ...

Last month we fielded a question about a fault code a reader had been trying to repair for more than a year. To recap, the Corvette in question, a ’96 model, had a recurring P0171 code, or “System Too ...
