The most common arrangement, which is used with only minor variations from small drives of say 0.5 kW up to the largest industrial drives of several megawatts, is the so-called two-loop control. This ...

When designing a motor control circuit, it’s vital to determine how to deliver the high current required to drive the motor. Designers must choose whether to use monolithic integrated circuits (ICs) ...

How the challenges of electric-motor control design can be overcome using digital twins in all design and test phases. How automated testing within a continuous and integrated toolchain is able to ...

The latest generation of 2-5 ton Copeland Scroll™ variable-speed compressor and motor control drive enables system manufacturers to achieve 25-plus SEER and 13-plus HSPF, the company said. The ...

GM has released a new customer satisfaction program for the Chevy Equinox EV and Blazer EV, addressing an issue with the drive motor power control module.

GM has issued a new Customer Satisfaction Program for the 2025 Cadillac Optiq, as the drive motor power distribution control module in certain units may fail.

With the appropriate driver IC and microcontroller, designers can exploit the brushless motor's declining price, smaller size, lighter weight, and minimal maintenance. As recently as two years ago, ...

Vector Control, also known as Field Oriented Control or FOC is an AC motor control scheme that enables fine-grained control over a connected motor, through the precise control of its phases. In a ...

Motors and drives are the longtime workhorses of the HVAC industry. These devices work long hours in tough conditions without complaint. And today’s motors and drives are not only tough, they’re ...

Engineers rely on motion-control devices to improve efficiencies and production rates on automated factory floors, or at least maintain them. One family of such devices, stepper motors, is widely used ...
