This document written by Steve Bowling, Application Segments Engineer at Microchip Technology, discusses how motor works and describes the AC induction motor, variable-speed ACIM control, and FOC.

The project is designed to control the speed of an induction motor such as fans, by using android application device. In home automation application, convenience of remotely controlling the speed of ...

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 ...

New research describes advanced motor control devices. These control devices are units designed to correct errors and improve the performance of the motors. This researcher has opted for cutting-edge ...

Somewhere in most engineering educations, there’s a class on induction motors. Students learn about shaded-pole motors, two-phase and three-phase motors, squirrel cage motors, and DC-excited motors.

Demand for low-cost, robust motor drives has spurred increased use of sensorless vector control of induction and BLDC motors in everything from consumer Demand for low-cost, robust motor drives has ...

Chances are, the HVAC system in your house uses a single-speed induction motor to power its fan, and the Department of Energy (DOE) wants to change that. The nation’s energy watchdog wants to replace ...
