From tiny hysteresis motors that drive electric clocks to huge synchronous motors that develop more than 50,000 hp, the alternating current (AC) motor has become an indispensable part of everyday life ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Designers can squeeze down the size and cost of small machines through the use of motors with built-in resolver functions. Donald Labriola, P.E. This 23-frame high-pole-count ac motor-resolver ...

Hyundai has recently provided an enlightening explanation of how electric vehicle (EV) motors operate, simplifying complex ...
