Using variable frequency drives (VFDs) to control the speed of a compressor can provide improved occupant comfort and quieter operation in air conditioning and heat pump applications. Tight ...

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 ...

Sophisticated motor control is no longer the sole province of custom hardware and proprietary control techniques. Advances in powerful, low-cost digital-signal controllers (DSCs) let designers use ...

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 ...

Mouser Electronics, Inc., is helping engineers stay ahead in motor control design with its online motor control resource ...

This is a simple and very effective project circuit which helps to control the speed of a DC motor using pwm and microcontroller. In many applications, it is important to control the speed of DC motor ...
