The diameters of the new series range from 25 to 40 mm at insertion heights of 58 to 120 mm. The new types are designed for rated voltages of 400 and 450 V AC and cover a capacitance range from 2 to ...

A squirrel cage induction motor must sense two or more electric phases to cause the magnetic field to start spinning, thus turning the motor’s rotor and shaft. Once the motor starts, the interaction ...

Single-phase motors are common in many industries and can be found in blowers, pumps, fans, lathes, and numerous other types of equipment. Single-phase motor failures or malfunctions can often be ...

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 ...

In performing service and troubleshooting on heat pump systems, there are various electrical components to be checked. The following provides information to aid in inspecting and servicing these ...

If you’re an active shopper on RC websites, you’ll find tiny motors spec’ed at hundreds of watts while weighing just a few grams, like this one. Sadly, their complementary motor controllers are ...

Mahle, the German automotive supplier, has just announced that its new superior continuous torque (SCT) electric motor is considerably more durable than any other design currently in use. The company ...

Back in 2006 I wrote about how my friend Alan Martin over at Texas Instruments had a saying: “It’s always a capacitor.” This was based on his observance that there is a lot of test equipment that goes ...
