Motors and their associated equipment must be protected against both overload and overcurrent (short circuit or ground fault). This function is usually split, with ...

The goal of an effective motor overload protection scheme is to protect the motor from damage while allowing it to operate normally up to its thermal limit. Ideally such a scheme would be based on a ...

In this article learn about options for measuring current in motor control applications, the strengths and challenges of these options, and how using precision current measurement can optimize the ...

To correctly drive motor system speed and torque, it requires feedback accuracy and signal integrity to provide stability inside the motor’s dynamic range. This article compares three motor control ...

Article 430 contains the specific rules for conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, control circuit conductors, controllers,, and disconnects for electric motors. The installation requirements for ...

STMicroelectronics is upping its game in power electronics with a family of motor drivers that can control the brushed DC and stepper motors at the heart of high-end industrial and consumer ...

DC motors come in many forms, but they all have the same job: turning electrical energy (DC) into mechanical energy. Although DC motors have a common operating principle, many applications—including ...

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has added “TB67S539FTG” to its lineup of stepping motor driver IC series that support constant current control, for ...

Brushless dc motors have the advantages of high reliability and smaller size, but the absence of brushes can pose challenges. One challenge is the requirement for electronic commutation and control, ...
