Precise motor control has gained greater significance as electrification takes over the automotive industry. Whether for electronic power steering, electronic stability control, automatic braking ...

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) ...

So you just spent three hours removing and replacing a motor that drives the feed to a robotic welder. You connected the leads exactly the way they were before you disconnected them. You properly ...

One of the more popular three-phase electrical services supplied to medium-size commercial buildings is the Wye or Star configuration transformer. The name comes from the transformer’s secondary ...

Compressor overheating is one of the industry's most serious field problems today. Compressor overheating is usually caused by high compression ratios. High compression ratios can be caused by a ...

Having both 3-phase and single-phase loads can be challenging when trying to balance the voltages at a facility. It’s possible that during a facilities operation, one phase can be lightly loaded ...

In the original version of this article, the second figure contained an error. The image has been updated. It’s important for engineers to have a good, working ...
