Fault current calculations are a critical piece of the electrical design/engineering puzzle for electrical distribution systems in commercial and industrial installations. A fault current calculation ...

Sometimes you may need to correct power factor (PF) at a single motor. This means sizing PF capacitors for that motor. The good news: If you size these capacitors correctly, you'll lower your ...

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

Next is the H-bridge, which resembles an H (Figure 2), which is used typically with a brushed DC motor. In addition to run, coast, and break operating modes, it can also reverse a motor. Simplified ...

Bipolar stepper motors are used in many applications, from driving paper through a printer to moving an XY stage in industrial equipment. Typically, the motors are driven and controlled by inexpensive ...

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, ...
