The NEC defines a controller in a few different ways. In Art. 100, a controller is described as “a device or group of devices that serves to govern, in some predetermined manner, the electric power ...

The Allen-Bradley Branch motor control components have been revised by Rockwell Automation. According to the company, this move was made to update systems where components are used to turn on and off ...

This article presents passive components being linked aside from MOSFETs and processors as critical to advanced motor control. It describes the sensing current flow and some basic considerations for ...

Electrotech Direct now offers what it calls cost effective and reliable three-pole contactors and thermal overload protection relays. Motor-control products are available individually or assembled as ...

Got a motor down? No matter how urgent the problem — and motor failure can cause some very urgent problems — always develop a plan of attack before you start repair work. Gather up any background ...

High-performance motors need a control mechanism that ensures enhanced smoothness, reliability, and efficiency. One of the most apt examples of such an application is the motor used in ...

There are definitely some hefty words in the title but Texas Instruments (TI) has brought something new to the motor control table with its InstaSpin-FOC (field-oriented-control) solution. It is a ...

The motor system can be considered at three levels: motor behaviour, limb mechanics and neural control. Although our understanding at each level continues to grow, linking these levels into a cohesive ...
