This document written by Steve Bowling, Application Segments Engineer at Microchip Technology, discusses how motor works and describes the AC induction motor, variable-speed ACIM control, and FOC.
For motor applications, engineers have several options at their disposal. Typically, engineers can choose between direct-current (DC) or alternating-current (AC) motors. Machine Design has covered the ...
The two most important electric motors are the ac induction motor and the permanent magnet (PM) brushless synchronous motor, also known as the brushless dc or ac servo motor. These motors have ...
