Single-phase and 3-phase AC squirrel cage induction motors need some type of control circuit to initiate a start or stop function. The two types of ladder control circuits commonly used are the 2-wire ...

This solid-state thyristor (SCR) switch circuit is perhaps the simplest means of reversing a 3 phase motor. “Static” is a catch-all term that essentially means without moving (mechanical) contacts ...

TOSHIBA ANNOUNCES HIGH VOLTAGE THREE-PHASE MOTOR DRIVERS WITH BUILT-IN POWER MANAGEMENT CIRCUITS FOR ENERGY-SAVING IN APPLIANCE AND MACHINERY APPLICATIONS Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc.

When motors start across the line, they typically draw five times the running current. This temporary “inrush” is an overload condition. To handle inrush while still providing adequate overcurrent ...

The flux-oriented control (FOC) is a commonly used technique for three-phase electric motor control application. Here, the applied voltage pattern is defined using the space vector modulation (SVM) ...

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 ...

BridgeSwitch ICs provide a motor current output signal that maps the current passing through the low-side FREDFET. An internal sense-FET provides lossless current sensing. The solution is suitable for ...

Electric drives require effective protection against overloads and short circuits. Both phenomena cause motor disruption and create a risk of damage to the motor. This could lead to a potentially ...
