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!

There are two separate circuits when it comes to motors and motor control. The main power circuit is what supplies the power to the motor itself to cause it to run. What determines when that power is ...

Advanced and sophisticated control of all types of motors, and especially brushless DC (BLDC) types, has been receiving lots of attention and support in recent years. This makes sense, as advanced ...

Many applications using miniature brushed DC motors require motors to operate at more than one load point or through specific load cycles. Running a motor at usable load points requires a variable, ...

Permanent magnet DC (PMDC) motors offer smaller solution size and increased efficiency in applications such as portable vacuums and cordless electric power tools. When designing an isolated power ...

Motor control, particularly frequency-controlled drives, is a technology that has advanced quickly in recent years as a result of the widespread use of motors in a variety of applications and the ...

Texas Instruments said the BLDC motor driver IC can reduce the footprint of the average motor systems in hybrid electric vehicles by around 30% and supply what it calls the industry's highest ...

Genius ideas usually are so simple you start to wonder after seeing them: Why did no one think about this before? This is precisely what we felt after seeing what Infinitum Electric has created: a ...
