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 ...

This application note presents the space vector modulation (SVM) of a 3-phase AC induction motors (ACIM), permanent magnet synchronous motors, and BLDC motors with the Z16FMC ZNEO microcontroller. The ...

The power of a synchronous motor depends directly on the load angle: the greater the load angle, the more torque, which determines the power by the speed specified by the input gear and the ...

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.

Many engineers look at NEMA Premium grade as the gold standard for induction motor efficiency. But technical innovations now make possible even more power-miserly designs. By now, most engineers who ...

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 ...
