Adjustable speed drives (ASDs) or variable speed drives (VSDs), also called variable frequency drives (VFDs), typically control a motor's velocity or torque output. Most adjustable frequency drives ...

Motors account for at least half of the energy consumed in the U.S. Selecting the right control method for an application lets the motor run most efficiently while maximizing torque and overall ...

Single- and three-phase alternating current (AC) motor speed can be controlled by controlling the frequency of the voltage coming to it. Motor speed has a lot to do with the capacity of refrigeration ...

When Tesla first introduced the 3-phase alternating current (AC) induction motor in 1888, he knew that his invention was more efficient and reliable than Edison's direct current (DC) motor. However, ...

When it comes to making decisions among various automation technologies to perform a task, the answer is rarely clear cut. Ultimately, the decision is often tied to the specifics of the application ...

You can divide the world of electronic motor drives into two categories: ac and dc. A motor drive controls the speed, torque, direction, and resulting horsepower of a motor. A dc drive typically ...

TIDA-00447 is a 24V, dual Brushless DC (BLDC) motor drive reference design to be used in dishwashers to drive water circulation pump and drain pump. The circulation pump and the drain pump drive ...
