OEMs and hobbyists benefit from technology’s trickle-down effect. Figure 1. Many industrial applications and small machines with a motor and limited I/O requirements can benefit from using AC VFDs with ...

While software and other advanced technologies often capture the automation technology spotlight, the fact remains that not much happens in the manufacturing or processing industries without motors.

Single- and three-phase alternating current (AC) motor speed can be controlled by controlling the frequency of the voltage coming to it. Motor speed has a lot to do with the capacity of refrigeration ...

Every day engineers design products that employ single-phase induction motors. Speed control of single-phase induction motors is desirable in most motor control applications since it not only provides ...
