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 ...

One of the hidden complications of upgrading grain drying and handling systems is providing enough electricity to power the new larger electric motors. Electric motors that are larger than 15 hp ...

So you just spent three hours removing and replacing a motor that drives the feed to a robotic welder. You connected the leads exactly the way they were before you disconnected them. You properly ...

Motors can be wired delta or wye. Which arrangement do you choose, and how do you do it? For purposes of making the connection, it doesn’t matter to the installer if the motor is delta-wound or ...

In the original version of this article, the second figure contained an error. The image has been updated. It’s important for engineers to have a good, working ...

Many power-consuming devices such as single-phase motors are designed for dual-voltage operation. Figure 1 shows a solenoid valve with four different colored wires coming from its wire housing. Figure ...
