Early incarnations of the electric motor first appeared in the 1740s through the work of Scottish Benedictine monk and scientist, Andrew Gordon. Other scientists such as Michael Faraday and Joseph ...

The two most important electric motors are the ac induction motor and the permanent magnet (PM) brushless synchronous motor, also known as the brushless dc or ac servo motor. These motors have ...

What if one innovation could redefine how industries consume energy, slashing waste and environmental impact while saving millions? Enter ABB’s new brushless synchronous motor, a technological marvel ...

Motors are machines that convert electrical energy into mechanical energy using magnetic forces. When current is passed through a wire loop that lies in a magnetic field, a turning force, or torque, ...

The energy-efficiency regulatory update scheduled for 2023 will affect builders of HVAC equipment, industrial fans, cooling towers and pumps, including those used in irrigation systems. The new ...

Selection of replacement motors is usually straightforward if the ratings are equivalent. Sometimes, however, a different type of motor is necessary or desirable. For success in these cases, it is ...

A soft starter has thyristors in its main circuit by which it adjusts motor voltage. Motors that run typical industrial applications employing conveyors, pumps, blowers, and compressors all have one ...
