Vector Control, also known as Field Oriented Control or FOC is an AC motor control scheme that enables fine-grained control ...

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 ...

Both software and hardware are parts of all motor control systems such as IGBTs, WBG semiconductors and MCUs. Industry 4.0 strongly relies on motor control for its development but energy consumption ...

I was planning to use the opto-coupler speed sensor as part of a motor speed control – making the motor into the VCO block in a phase-locked loop. When this technique works, using it is simple: put ...

Figure 1 shows a block diagram of the dynamometer’s architecture. Table 1 describes each of the dynamometer components with the reasons for selection. 1. Shown is a block diagram of dynamometer. The ...

Energy conversion efficiency has always played an important role in electronics design, and in the case of electric motors, the conversion takes place twice: first to create the electricity needed to ...
