Electric motors consume almost half of the electricity produced worldwide. They, in fact, provide the necessary driving force for much of today’s equipment. Motors, pumps, and fans are present in an ...

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 ...

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 ...

NORD offers IE5+ motors in sizes 71, 90, and newly released, size 112, extending the power range from 0.5 to 15.0 hp.

Microprocessor control lets variable-speed PMSMs save energy. Sophisticated motor control is no longer the sole province of custom hardware and proprietary control techniques. Advances in powerful, ...
