It is well understood that induction motors draw higher currents during their starting operations than is the case under full load running conditions. Since, the early days of induction motor ...

Single-phase motors are common in many industries and can be found in blowers, pumps, fans, lathes, and numerous other types of equipment. Single-phase motor failures or malfunctions can often be ...

Many single-phase motors used with refrigeration-duty, semi-hermetic and hermetic compressors require an external relay to assist in starting. How much do you know about these necessary products? An ...

A motor control IC is a convenient way to implement custom motor drive algorithms such as the single-phase induction motor (SPIM) control. A generalized control algorithm, implemented and tested in an ...

Single-phase motors, adjustable-speed drives (ASDs), and power factor (PF) correction applications often depend on capacitors to operate properly. This article explains how to test these critical ...
