Today's motors are increasingly driven via electronic controls, which offer better control of speed, position, and torque, as well as much greater efficiency, rather than via direct connection to ...

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 ...

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 ...

Here are two simple 12V DC motor speed controllers that can be built for just a few dollars. Here are two simple 12V DC motor speed controllers that can be built for just a few dollars. They exploit ...

When you get the call, “The motor won’t start,” you’d best have a logical and systematic plan in place to approach the problem. “Easter egging” just doesn’t work unless you happen to be very lucky!

A motor protection relay safeguards electric motors by detecting thermal stress, phase imbalance, stall, and abnormal ...

Every day engineers design products that employ single-phase induction motors. Speed control of single-phase induction motors is desirable in most motor control applications since it not only provides ...
