Variable speed control of a compressor motor significantly reduces both the peak and average energy consumption. However, since the standards for air conditioners require a reduction in the seasonal ...

“A bunch of things are coming together.” That's how V Sukumar, a senior applications manager for Fairchild Semiconductor, begins a discussion of trends in motor control for the white-goods market.

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 ...

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 ...

It's easy to understand how variable-speed motor drives benefit pumps and blowers from the energy curves that depict their performance. It is interesting to look at figures from the Energy Information ...

The way we control the speed of fan motors or pump motors has tremendously changed in the past two decades with the introduction of variable-frequency drives (VFDs), aka variable-frequency controllers ...

Abstract: This research investigates the utilization of the Leap Motion device, in conjunction with the L298N motor controller and NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontroller, to achieve precise and intuitive ...

Developed by Farnell element14, the S12ZVML-MINIBRD variable speed motor control kit is based on the Freescale S12 MagniV. It includes both the hardware and software needed to get a variable speed ...
