Three-phase electric power is a system where three currents run along the same circuit at slightly different times. Although the frequency of each current is identical, they vary sinusoidally. The ...

Traditional 12V to 48V motor drive systems typically use an MCU paired with three separate gate drivers. However, rising demand for higher efficiency and more precise control is accelerating the shift ...

Three-phase is a common method of electric power transmission. It is a type of polyphase system used to power motors and many other devices. Three phase has properties that make it very desirable in ...

One of the hidden complications of upgrading grain drying and handling systems is providing enough electricity to power the new larger electric motors. Electric motors that are larger than 15 hp ...

ROHM’s new three-phase brushless DC motor gate driver uses its proprietary TriC3™ technology to minimise FET switching loss without compromising on electromagnetic interference (EMI). It is designed ...

In the original version of this article, the second figure contained an error. The image has been updated. It’s important for engineers to have a good, working ...

One of the more popular three-phase electrical services supplied to medium-size commercial buildings is the Wye or Star configuration transformer. The name comes from the transformer’s secondary ...

A motor control IC is a convenient way to implement custom motor drive algorithms such as the single-phase induction motor (SPIM) control. A generalized control algorithm, implemented and tested in an ...

The average efficiency of an internal combustion engine in real-world operation is measured at around 20 percent. 80 percent is lost as waste heat, of which only a small proportion is useful in winter ...

Keep in mind when reading any article about electrical theory or application that it only scratches the surface of the topic. You can dedicate years of your life to understanding electrical theory and ...
