BorgWarner. has been granted a patent for a method of motor control using a complex vector flux regulator (CV?R). The method involves receiving a modulation index ...

This application note presents space vector control or field-oriented control (FOC) using polar coordinates. It is used for controlling 3-phase alternating current induction motors (ACIM). The ...

Since the mid 1990s, motor control algorithms have grown increasingly complex, driven by several factors. Among the most important are lower energy consumption and better functionality. One example is ...

Three-phase brushless motors offer many benefits including economy, reliability and high efficiency, but also exhibit poor dynamic performance. By implementing proper control algorithms (such as field ...
