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 ...

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 ...

Later, I helped a friend disassemble a Tesla model, and the mass of circuit boards inside was overwhelming—until I drew 5 ...

Both software and hardware are parts of all motor control systems such as IGBTs, WBG semiconductors and MCUs. Industry 4.0 strongly relies on motor control for its development but energy consumption ...

A specialized segment of the electrical construction and maintenance industry, AC motor control is an area that requires specific knowledge in order to troubleshoot motors effectively and ensure ...

The circuit in this Idea for Design provides three levels of speed control for a dc motor using a PC’s parallel port (LPT1). A C++ program performs the control functions by allowing the signals from ...

Precisely tracking speed, acceleration, and position of a motor's rotor is an essential requirement for many motor control applications found in everyday equipment such as fax machines, elevators, and ...

As variable frequency drives (VFDs) are becoming the primary go-to solution for motor control, their capability is not something that can be matched. With every new generation comes better performance ...

Trinamic, now part of Maxim Integrated, demonstrated a range of power control solutions in the forefront of APEC, including its latest solutions that simplify the development of end-of-arm tooling ...
