For IGBTs, the on-state voltage drop is a critical specification to consider. This drop includes both the diode drop across ...

Combining the advantages of permanent magnet and induction motors, new synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM) offer potentially breakthrough technology for variable speed drive (VSD) and motor packages ...

Technology advancements in motor drive designs have opened many doors. For example, in motion control systems, greater precision, efficiency, and control provides many benefits in user experience and ...

How the challenges of electric-motor control design can be overcome using digital twins in all design and test phases. How automated testing within a continuous and integrated toolchain is able to ...

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 ...

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 ...

Nord’s IE5+ permanent magnet synchronous motor, first releases in 2021, now offers ventilated designs and larger frame sizes. The motors are UL/CSA certified and include a larger size 90 TENV, as well ...

In 1960, the large-angle type PM step motor was the most used step motor. This two-phase, bifilar wound PM step motor (top) advanced 45° mechanical with each pulse from the drive, while by 1962 PM ...
