When energy-efficiency costs come into play, more designers are opting for the electronically commutated motor rather than familiar AC and DC versions. For motor applications, engineers have several ...

DC Motors were king in industry up until the late 1980s; These motors were popular because they were able to run to a variable speed setpoint, and they could run at full torque from stall to base ...

This document written by Steve Bowling, Application Segments Engineer at Microchip Technology, discusses how motor works and describes the AC induction motor, variable-speed ACIM control, and FOC.

For motor applications, engineers have several options at their disposal. Typically, engineers can choose between direct-current (DC) or alternating-current (AC) motors. Machine Design has covered the ...

Difference Between AC And DC: Jagran Josh brings to you yet another important difference between AC and DC from Physics. This time we are going to inform you about some key dissimilarities between ...

Significant complications arise when trying to get your power supply working from a wall outlet. Making a dc voltage from an ac source means you will have to rectify the ac voltage to get a dc bus.
