Speed, torque, and horsepower are three inter-related parameters in motor control. The speed of a motor, measured in revolutions per minute (rpm), defines a motor's ability to spin at a rate per unit ...

DC motors are used extensively in industrial variable speed applications because of most demanding speed-torque characteristics and are simple in controlling aspects. This paper presents a DC motor ...

En route to getting the off-the-peg DC-51 motor speed controller to better suit my small milling machine, I had a go at working out what the circuit is. Approx circuit of DC-51 motor speed controller ...

Demand is growing for appliances such as washing machines, refrigerators, and air conditioners to help improve domestic energy efficiency. Moving from conventional fixed-speed motors to variable-speed ...

The topic of motors and motor control techniques is wide and varied. Part one of this two-part article will cover the principles of alternating-current (AC) motor operation and control. Part two will ...

This circuit takes advantage of the voltage drop across bridge rectifier diodes to produce a 5-position variable voltage supply to a DC fan or other small DC motor. It is not as efficient as a ...

It is interesting to look at figures from the Energy Information Administration about where energy gets consumed in our economy. These figures reveal that industrial uses account for 31% of all energy ...
