Combining the advantages of permanent magnet and induction motors, new synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM) offer potentially breakthrough technology for variable speed drive (VSD) and motor packages ...

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 ...

Synchronous motors have a stationary magnetic field relative to the rotor. Permanent magnets or field windings through slip rings create the field. Induction motors have a rotating magnetic field ...

Geothermal power offers a stable, continuous source of renewable energy that could help power millions of homes while reducing dependence on fossil fuels. As governments worldwide pursue ...

The AC induction motor is often referred to as the workhorse of the industry because it offers users simple, rugged construction, easy maintenance, and cost-effective pricing. These factors have ...

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 ...

Early incarnations of the electric motor first appeared in the 1740s through the work of Scottish Benedictine monk and scientist, Andrew Gordon. Other scientists such as Michael Faraday and Joseph ...

New and increasingly stringent efficiency standards have made motor efficiency a priority among motor manufacturers and designers of motor-driven systems. While the Energy Independence and Security ...

Synchronous motors offer high efficiency, power factor correction & durability, making them ideal for energy-saving & continuous-duty industrial applications. The large synchronous motors is moving ...
