The difference between a controller and converter design. Why you want to use a controller versus a converter design. It’s become trendy to multiphase or stack devices as power requirements across ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
