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 ...

Another intriguing issue is whether circuits in the remaining frontal agranular cortex—presumably involved in more ‘cognitive’ aspects of motor control—are organized in the form of primary motor ...

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 ...

Guest columnist Alfred Hesener, European marketing director at Fairchild Semiconductor, describes how good design of power switches can help reduce losses in motor control circuits. Energy-saving ...

Motor control and drives are fundamental in many applications, as they allow a high degree of accuracy, which in turn translates into lower costs and greater efficiency. The vital function performed ...

TT electronics IRC Wirewound and Film Technologies Division recently introduced a surface-mount high-surge resistor for use in small motor control circuit designs in automotive and industrial ...

A simple, low-cost hardwired step per motor control circuit that can be used in low-power applications, such as moving toys etc is presented here. A simple, low-cost hardwired step per motor control ...

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!
