A recent world-wide interest in the environmental friendliness, water consumption, and energy saving particularly impinges on the home appliance area. The actual regulatory standards and ...

The ZXBM1021Q20TC (621-ZXBM1021Q20TC) is a single-phase, variable speed, motor control pre-driver featuring built-in Hall amplifier and an integrated current control. It operates up to 18 V with speed ...

The way we control the speed of fan motors or pump motors has tremendously changed in the past two decades with the introduction of variable-frequency drives (VFDs), aka variable-frequency controllers ...

IR-SA Integrated Technologies, a collaboration between International Rectifier (IR) and Sanyo Semiconductor, will design, develop, and market variable-speed motor-drive power modules. These products ...

The topic of motors and motor control techniques is wide and varied. Part one of this two-part article will cover the principles of alternating-current (AC) motor operation and control. Part two will ...

Variable speed drives (VSDs), sometimes also known as variable frequency drives, are electronic devices used to regulate the speed of an ac induction motor. Electric motors consume approximately 25% ...

It is interesting to look at figures from the Energy Information Administration about where energy gets consumed in our economy. These figures reveal that industrial uses account for 31% of all energy ...

Permanent magnet synchronous motor is a typical nonlinear, multivariable, and strongly coupled system 1, whose performance is affected by uncertainties such as external load perturbations, unmodeled ...

Sophisticated motor control is no longer the sole province of custom hardware and proprietary control techniques. Advances in powerful, low-cost digital-signal controllers (DSCs) let designers use ...

In order to address issues such as high chattering and insufficient anti-disturbance performance in Synchronous Reluctance Motor (SynRM) speed control systems, this paper proposes an Adaptive ...
