During the 1990s, scrap yards could choose their shredder drives. The rule of thumb was DC for large and mid-size systems (5000 hp and below) and AC wound rotor for super shredders (6000 hp and above) ...

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 ...

Discover how to create a simple electric motor using everyday materials in this step-by-step tutorial. Learn how to build a homemade DC motor by winding copper wire into coils, constructing a custom ...

Since the mid 1990s, motor control algorithms have grown increasingly complex, driven by several factors. Among the most important are lower energy consumption and better functionality. One example is ...

Specifics about high-power-density motors (HPDMs). Applications best served with HPDMs. Why BLDCs are perhaps the most preferred among HPDM architectures. High power density is an important ...

In recent years, there has been a move toward using higher-efficiency brushless DC (BLDC) motors in many markets and applications. Many applications are using (or could be using) these motors to ...

The use of Brushless DC (BLDC) motors is rapidly growing in today's electronic world. Because of their increased use, there is a corresponding need for low-cost methods to control them, especially in ...
