When motors start across the line, they typically draw five times the running current. This temporary “inrush” is an overload condition. To handle inrush while still providing adequate overcurrent ...

Engineers often use a gate driver or “pre-driver” IC along with N-channel power MOSFETs to provide the high current needed to drive motors. It’s important to account for all the design considerations ...

This is the second half of a two-part article discussing principles and application of the AC induction motors that provide motive power for most of the equipment HVACR engineers specify. In March, we ...

Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about motor control. Motors provide the driving power in almost every stage of the manufacturing and production process. With this much productive ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Motors are rated by the output power they can produce over a given time period without overheating. These ratings are ...
