A synchronous and synchronous motors are the two main categories of ac motors. The induction motor is a common form of asynchronous motor and is basically an ac transformer with a rotating secondary.

DC Motors were king in industry up until the late 1980s; These motors were popular because they were able to run to a variable speed setpoint, and they could run at full torque from stall to base ...

During the constant worldwide campaign to make the planet as clean as possible, electric vehicle (EV) drivers have an improving chance of driving cars with fewer moving parts. One of an EV’s greatest ...

A loop of wire rotating between two permanent magnets generates DC and AC signals. This device can be connected to a DC power supply to run as a motor. Disconnect the DC power supply, if applicable.

DC machines can be classified as self-excited, separately excited, permanent magnet (PM), and brushless. Self-excited machines can be further classified as shunt, series, and compound. Compound ...

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.

AutomationDirect’s Marathon AC motor line now includes lower-cost, high-performance 0.5 to 5 HP Marathon Max+ series AC motors with integrated encoder. Within the Max+ series, AutomationDirect’s ...
