In Part 1 of this two-part series, we presented a 3-phase, 480VAC motor circuit with its associated controls (Figure). We stepped through a logical, systematic approach to troubleshoot the main power ...

The latest microcontrollers featuring field-oriented control bring higher efficiency to motor-control circuit designs in consumer ...

Another intriguing issue is whether circuits in the remaining frontal agranular cortex—presumably involved in more ‘cognitive’ aspects of motor control—are organized in the form of primary motor ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. Consumer appliance and industrial applications are generating demand for sophisticated motor control circuits that can simplify system designs, reduce ...

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!
