Single-phase motors, adjustable-speed drives (ASDs), and power factor (PF) correction applications often depend on capacitors to operate properly. This article explains how to test these critical ...

How the challenges of electric-motor control design can be overcome using digital twins in all design and test phases. How automated testing within a continuous and integrated toolchain is able to ...

Where three-phase power is unavailable or impractical, it’s single-phase motors to the rescue. Though they lack the higher efficiencies of their three-phase siblings, single-phase motors — correctly ...

THE first edition of this work appeared in 1904. Since then remarkable advances have been made in electrical engineering. A foremost place in this progress must be given to electric motors, and more ...

For more than 20 years, Sakor Technologies has provided engineering and software development assistance, systems-integration services, and turnkey test systems to major manufacturers, components ...

Electric fans commonly use low-cost AC motors built around capacitors, which now increasingly demand replacement due to high power consumption. However, while three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors ...

Efficiency standards were once confined to integral horsepower motors but may soon apply to small motors and make certain kinds impractical to manufacture. Today, the electric motors that are of most ...
