Geothermal power offers a stable, continuous source of renewable energy that could help power millions of homes while reducing dependence on fossil fuels. As governments worldwide pursue ...

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 ...

Although an increasing interest and use of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) can be observed during the last decade, the standard 3-phase Induction Motor (IM) is still the most widely used ...

Early incarnations of the electric motor first appeared in the 1740s through the work of Scottish Benedictine monk and scientist, Andrew Gordon. Other scientists such as Michael Faraday and Joseph ...

A Japanese joint venture between Hitachi, Honda and JIC Capital, has developed an electric motor for electric vehicles based ...

This document written by Steve Bowling, Application Segments Engineer at Microchip Technology, discusses how motor works and describes the AC induction motor, variable-speed ACIM control, and FOC.

The AC induction motor is often referred to as the workhorse of the industry because it offers users simple, rugged construction, easy maintenance, and cost-effective pricing. These factors have ...
