AC induction motors are everywhere, from ceiling fans to vehicles. They’re reliable, simple, and rugged — but there are some disadvantages. It’s difficult to control the speed ...

The AC induction motor (ACIM) is the most popular motor used in consumer and industrial applications. The motor is highly reliable, as its simple design has no brushes that could wear out, and it can ...

AC induction motors are the most common motors used in industrial motion control systems, as well as in main powered home appliances. Simple and rugged design, low-cost, low maintenance and direct ...

The two most important electric motors are the ac induction motor and the permanent magnet (PM) brushless synchronous motor, also known as the brushless dc or ac servo motor. These motors have ...

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 ...

Apple is working on a three-phase AC induction motor suitable for an Apple Car, implementing the same basic engineering and motor design principles that Tesla uses. Titled "Electric motor with bar ...

Legacy designs of variable frequency drives (VFDs) used optocouplers or pulse transformers for isolation and mated them together with gate driver ICs. A more integrated approach, though, uses ...
