Once the control method of choice only in high-performance industrial ac-servo drives, FOC (field-oriented control) is finding its way into lower end industrial and many appliance applications with ...

Before putting an AC machine into service, make sure its duty rating matches the application requirements. Otherwise, there’s a good chance excessive heat will degrade the machine’s windings.

MADISON, Ind. — Vehicle Service Group has launched a line of Rotary fully automatic air conditioning diagnostic and recharging equipment through its new partnership with Texa. Texa designs, develops ...

For motor applications, engineers have several options at their disposal. Typically, engineers can choose between direct-current (DC) or alternating-current (AC) motors. Machine Design has covered the ...

A synchronous and synchronous motors are the two main categories of ac motors. The induction motor is a common form of asynchronous motor and is basically an ac transformer with a rotating secondary.

Keeping equipment operators productive as summer comes on requires an air conditioning system maintained to harness some cool physics. Most of the maintenance is pretty simple, but knowing how and ...
