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) ...

The average efficiency of an internal combustion engine in real-world operation is measured at around 20 percent. 80 percent is lost as waste heat, of which only a small proportion is useful in winter ...

Voltage unbalance can be a common steady-state power quality problem that is harmful to 3-phase electric motors. The condition can cause overheating and insulation damage. The cost of damage to motors ...

One of the hidden complications of upgrading grain drying and handling systems is providing enough electricity to power the new larger electric motors. Electric motors that are larger than 15 hp ...

Home machinists can often find great deals on used industrial equipment, and many a South Bend lathe or Bridgeport milling machine has followed someone home. Then comes the moment to plug it in, and ...
