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 ...

The purpose of this application note is to illustrate a software-based implementation of sensorless, field oriented control for permanent magnet synchronous motors using Microchip digital signal ...

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 ...

Nikesh Kooverjee has been contributing to the automotive sphere for 11 years. His previous roles include Digital Editor at CAR South Africa and associate editor at CarBuzz. He has always had a strong ...

The quest for energy efficient electric motors has generated a lot of interesting ideas. One of the latest is said to push the efficiency of induction motors to better than super-premium levels by ...

This advanced variant of a separately excited synchronous motor is thus an alternative to permanent-magnet synchronous machines (PSM). New Delhi: ZF has developed an electric motor which does not ...

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 ...
