Many applications using miniature brushed DC motors require motors to operate at more than one load point or through specific load cycles. Running a motor at usable load points requires a variable, ...

A typical low-voltage variable-frequency drive. Industrial facilities commonly use variable-frequency drives (VFDs) to control the speed at which alternating current motors operate. Let’s examine a ...

The DC motor is widely used in the field of servo automation and robotics. The operating principle of an electric motor is based on the interaction of two magnetic fields that attract and repel each ...

When designing a motor control circuit, it’s vital to determine how to deliver the high current required to drive the motor. Designers must choose whether to use monolithic integrated circuits (ICs) ...

Different types of motors need different types of drivers. Requirements for a variety of applications. Selecting the right motor driver is crucial to achieving the required functionality and ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. At one time, designing products with motors was relatively easy. Brushed dc motors and single-phase ac induction motors didn’t require a lot of extra ...

Article 430 in the National Electrical Code (NEC) recognizes two types of molded case circuit breakers (MCCBs) — instantaneous and inverse time — for motor branch circuit short circuit and ground ...

Altech’s load-safe LSF Series and RT Series non-fusible motor disconnect switches and accessories de-energize electrical circuits for safe maintenance, repairs, inspections and emergencies. RS has ...
