This application note presents the vector control of a 3-phase AC induction motor using the Z8FMC16100 microcontrollers. This document also briefly describes the series of Z8FMC16100 flash ...

The two most important electric motors are the ac induction motor and the permanent magnet (PM) brushless synchronous motor, also known as the brushless dc or ac servo motor. These motors have ...

The topic of motors and motor control techniques is wide and varied. Part one of this two-part article will cover the principles of alternating-current (AC) motor operation and control. Part two will ...

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 ...

You can divide the world of electronic motor drives into two categories: ac and dc. A motor drive controls the speed, torque, direction, and resulting horsepower of a motor. A dc drive typically ...

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 ...

For motor applications, engineers have several options at their disposal. Typically, engineers can choose between direct-current (DC) or alternating-current (AC) motors. Machine Design has covered the ...
