So you just spent three hours removing and replacing a motor that drives the feed to a robotic welder. You connected the leads exactly the way they were before you disconnected them. You properly ...

In power distribution systems, three-phase transformer configuration directly impacts system reliability and load management.

A motor control IC is a convenient way to implement custom motor drive algorithms such as the single-phase induction motor (SPIM) control. A generalized control algorithm, implemented and tested in an ...

Keep in mind when reading any article about electrical theory or application that it only scratches the surface of the topic. You can dedicate years of your life to understanding electrical theory and ...

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 ...

One of the more popular three-phase electrical services supplied to medium-size commercial buildings is the Wye or Star configuration transformer. The name comes from the transformer’s secondary ...

Asma Aziz is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. If you’re building, renovating or planning to install a solar battery, your builder or installer might ask whether ...

Electric drives require effective protection against overloads and short circuits. Both phenomena cause motor disruption and create a risk of damage to the motor. This could lead to a potentially ...

Because elevators are critical systems, downtime is expensive and dangerous. To avoid this, elevators need three-phase electrical power to meet its high power demand without compromising their ...
