In Part 1 of this two-part series, we presented a 3-phase, 480VAC motor circuit with its associated controls (Figure). We stepped through a logical, systematic approach to troubleshoot the main power ...

This application note presents the vector control of a 3-phase AC induction motor using the Z8FMC16100 microcontrollers. This document also briefly describes the series of Z8FMC16100 flash ...

Power Integrations’ updated Motor-Expert Suite now features three-phase field-oriented control (FOC) software, including a reconstruction algorithm that uses the phase-shifted trigonometric ...

Improving the energy efficiency of today's appliances depends on precisely controlling the speed and torque of three-phase motors based on various types of feedback. Fortunately, specialized MCU-based ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe has launched two sine-wave pulse width modulated (PWM) drive controllers – TC78B043FNG and ...

When you get the call, “The motor won’t start,” you’d best have a logical and systematic plan in place to approach the problem. “Easter egging” just doesn’t work unless you happen to be very lucky!
