Small and medium AC induction motors account for more than 75% of motor electrical energy demand; however, they typically receive less maintenance than their larger counterparts. This leaves them ...

The AC induction motor (ACIM) is the most popular motor used in consumer and industrial applications. The motor is highly reliable, as its simple design has no brushes that could wear out, and it can ...

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 ...

The two most important electric motors are the ac induction motor and the permanent magnet (PM) brushless synchronous motor, also known as the brushless dc or ac servo motor. These motors have ...

In our very last Productivity Forum, we concentrate on one of Nikola Tesla's most significant inventions — the ac motor. In this report, Motion System Design editors polled ac motor experts for advice ...

For motor applications, engineers have several options at their disposal. Typically, engineers can choose between direct-current (DC) or alternating-current (AC) motors. Machine Design has covered the ...
