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 ...

American manufacturers are importing European and Asian industrial equipment at an accelerating pace. The problem: that ...

Toshiba is sampling a gate driver IC tailored for three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors for functions like power sliding doors, power back doors (power tailgates), and power seats, as well as ...

Engineering efforts to simulate radial-flux machines concentrate on inherently 2D problems. Most of the 2D FEA software is good for "quick-and-easy" solutions demanded by shorter design schedules.

Compressor overheating is one of the industry's most serious field problems today. Compressor overheating is usually caused by high compression ratios. High compression ratios can be caused by a ...

It’s impossible to balance line-to-line voltages perfectly in three-phase circuits, so they typically differ by a few volts or more. However, if voltage unbalance exceeds 1%, it can markedly decrease ...
