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.

Early incarnations of the electric motor first appeared in the 1740s through the work of Scottish Benedictine monk and scientist, Andrew Gordon. Other scientists such as Michael Faraday and Joseph ...

The Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) is widely used in various industries due to its high power density, smaller size, and higher efficiency. For applications which require fast dynamic ...

{Editor's note: This article originally appeared as a series of blogs in EE Times. It is replicated here in its entirety for the convenience of the EDN community.} Motors are all around us, and an ...

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.
