From tiny hysteresis motors that drive electric clocks to huge synchronous motors that develop more than 50,000 hp, the alternating current (AC) motor has become an indispensable part of everyday life ...

Electric motors are said to consume nearly 50% of the world's electricity. Industry is focused on replacing inefficient constant-speed drives and motors with microprocessor-driven variable-speed units ...

[Editor’s Note: This is part 2 of a two-part series. For part 1, go to http://bit.ly/gSjOBf.] In the motor control system, current is a common item to be measured ...

The wide range of electric motors can be a confusing topic even without considering intelligent motor control. This brief overview is for those who think motors are only divided into two categories: ...

High power density is an important characteristic in most motors, even in a tiny motor with a high-power-output capability. A high-power-density motor (HPDM) is one that has a high ratio of ...

Lucid has just released the fourth installment in its Tech Talk series that describes various elements of company’s first offering, the Air sedan. This latest video is arguably the most interesting to ...

A synchronous and synchronous motors are the two main categories of ac motors. The induction motor is a common form of asynchronous motor and is basically an ac transformer with a rotating secondary.
