The flux-oriented control (FOC) is a commonly used technique for three-phase electric motor control application. Here, the applied voltage pattern is defined using the space vector modulation (SVM) ...

One of the difficult challenges that designers may face is to isolateprecision analog signals in an extremely noisy environment. A goodexample is monitoring the motorphase current in a ...

It's hard to stay up to date when you are floating in a sea of technical jargon. However, it's imperative that engineers know the terminology associated with the areas in which they work. And that's ...

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 ...

Trinamic Motion Control's TMCM-0013-xA current-sense boards are lab tools designed to simplify the measurement and visualization of two-phase motor currents. The boards are well-suited for tuning a ...

A 480V, 3-phase, squirrel-cage motor is a common piece of equipment in many facilities. When sizing circuit breakers, fuses, and conductors for a general AC motor branch circuit, National Electrical ...

Renesas has announced its RX111 motor control kits. These inverter reference solution kits are designed to drive any three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM), also called brushless AC ...

Isolated sigma-delta (∑-Δ)-based analogue-to-digital converters (ADCs) have become the preferred method for phase current measurement in high performance motor and servo drives. The converters have ...

Sophisticated motor control is no longer the sole province of custom hardware and proprietary control techniques. Advances in powerful, low-cost digital-signal controllers (DSCs) let designers use ...

Medium-voltage motors are critical to a facility’s power system. Not only are they expensive, but their failure can have crippling, long-lasting impacts on a plant’s operation. As such, properly ...
