In Part 1 of this two-part series, we presented a 3-phase, 480VAC motor circuit with its associated controls (Figure). We stepped through a logical, systematic approach to troubleshoot the main power ...

Guest columnist Alfred Hesener, European marketing director at Fairchild Semiconductor, describes how good design of power switches can help reduce losses in motor control circuits. Energy-saving ...

Note: This specialization requires purchase of a hardware kit in order to apply your knowledge and skill with real world tools. The hardware will be used to complete the lab exercises across the four ...

TT electronics IRC Wirewound and Film Technologies Division recently introduced a surface-mount high-surge resistor for use in small motor control circuit designs in automotive and industrial ...

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) ...

In this online engineering specialization, you will master sensor and motor theory and program these devices in a microprocessor system. You will complete courses in sensors and sensor circuit design; ...

With roadmaps for processor/DSP technology offering increasing performance you might wonder how FPGAs could be the next stage in the evolution of motor control. Certainly the cost of microprocessors ...

The electric motors used in body motor systems are controlled using switches arranged in the shape of the letter “H.” By Arun Vemuri Body motors for movement are key to comfort and convenience in ...

This is a very cool electronic project to control dc loads using a very cheap and reliable design. This video also explains in depth all about pwm so you can understand it easily. #JoyplanesRC #pcb #J ...

When you get the call, “The motor won’t start,” you’d best have a logical and systematic plan in place to approach the problem. “Easter egging” just doesn’t work unless you happen to be very lucky!
