Sometimes you may need to correct power factor (PF) at a single motor. This means sizing PF capacitors for that motor. The good news: If you size these capacitors correctly, you'll lower your ...

The thyristor d.c. drive remains an important speed-controlled industrial drive, especially where the higher maintenance cost associated with the d.c. motor brushes (c.f. induction motor) is tolerable ...

Since AC induction motors have been established as the preferred choice for industrial motors and the need for reduced power in all aspects of design is ever present, the efficiency of these motors is ...

Every day engineers design products that employ single-phase induction motors. Speed control of single-phase induction motors is desirable in most motor control applications since it not only provides ...

Matching drive to motor is essential to gain the best combination of torque, speed, and efficiency. Selecting the right drive is essential to getting the best performance and efficiency from an ...

Continuing headlines about superefficient electric drives might lead some observers to wonder about the future of three-phase induction motors. The truth is that induction motors aren’t going away any ...
