Medium-voltage motors are critical to a facility’s power system. Not only are they expensive, but their failure can have crippling, long-lasting impacts on a plant’s operation. As such, properly ...

Electric drives require effective protection against overloads and short circuits. Both phenomena cause motor disruption and create a risk of damage to the motor. This could lead to a potentially ...

FORT WAYNE, IN--(Marketwired - Apr 25, 2017) - Franklin Electric Co., Inc. (NASDAQ: FELE) announces the official release of the new SubMonitor Connect electronic motor protector that provides the ...

Infineon has used silicon-on-insulator technology to create a 140V three-phase gate driver for motor drives. Called 6ED2742S01Q, it is designed to drive six external n-channel mosfets using ...

Selection of replacement motors is usually straightforward if the ratings are equivalent. Sometimes, however, a different type of motor is necessary or desirable. For success in these cases, it is ...

There are several reasons to use a three-phase inverter to run a single-phase induction motor, including isolation from variable power grids, reduction of peak currents and elimination of the starting ...

Toshiba has launched two sine-wave pulse width modulated (PWM) drive controllers – TC78B043FNG and TC78B043FTG – for three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors, which can support both surface permanent ...

Compressor overheating is one of the industry's most serious field problems today. Compressor overheating is usually caused by high compression ratios. High compression ratios can be caused by a ...
