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.

The project is designed to control the speed of an induction motor such as fans, by using android application device. In home automation application, convenience of remotely controlling the speed of ...

Speed, torque, and horsepower are three inter-related parameters in motor control. The speed of a motor, measured in revolutions per minute (rpm), defines a motor's ability to spin at a rate per unit ...

Somewhere in most engineering educations, there’s a class on induction motors. Students learn about shaded-pole motors, two-phase and three-phase motors, squirrel cage motors, and DC-excited motors.

Abstract: The duty cycle direct torque control (DTC) method suffers from the stator current distortion due to the flux drop at low-speed operation. To solve the above problem, this paper proposes a ...

Demand for low-cost, robust motor drives has spurred increased use of sensorless vector control of induction and BLDC motors — in everything from consumer products to industrial applications, in ...

This month marks the 50th year since ABB’s Low Voltage Variable Speed Drive (VSD) was first brought to market.

Chances are, the HVAC system in your house uses a single-speed induction motor to power its fan, and the Department of Energy (DOE) wants to change that. The nation’s energy watchdog wants to replace ...
