In Part 1 of this two-part series, we presented a 3-phase, 480VAC motor circuit with its associated controls (Figure). We stepped through a logical, systematic approach to troubleshoot the main power ...

In this online engineering specialization, you will master sensor and motor theory and program these devices in a microprocessor system. You will complete courses in sensors and sensor circuit design; ...

The programmable logic controller (PLC) is a microprocessor-based system that accepts input data from switches and sensors, processes that data by making decisions in accordance with a stored program, ...

E-2's main propulsion system consists of two DC motors directly driving contra-rotating propellers. An underwater vehicle with a single propeller is subject to undesirable torque forces, especially if ...

Groomed for use in small-motor control circuits, the HSF series surface-mount, surge resistor exploits a cylindrical design to aid heat dissipation and produce higher surge/pulse capabilities than ...

Today's motors are increasingly driven via electronic controls, which offer better control of speed, position, and torque, as well as much greater efficiency, rather than via direct connection to ...

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: With the driver ICs available today, brushed DC motor control is a snap to integrate in building-, home-, and industrial-automation applications. Motors are everywhere, ...
