In Part 1 of this two-part series, we presented a 3-phase, 480VAC motor circuit with its associated controls (Figure). We stepped through a logical, systematic approach to troubleshoot the main power ...

This quick reference guide describes TE Circuit Protection’s products for automotive applications. These circuit protection devices help provide protection for overcurrent, overvoltage, and PCB trace ...

When you get the call, “The motor won’t start,” you’d best have a logical and systematic plan in place to approach the problem. “Easter egging” just doesn’t work unless you happen to be very lucky!

Guest columnist Alfred Hesener, European marketing director at Fairchild Semiconductor, describes how good design of power switches can help reduce losses in motor control circuits. Energy-saving ...

In this exciting video, we dive into the world of controlling high voltage DC motors and the intricate process of designing a ...

Embedded exhibition sets out to simplify DC motor control circuits Richard Wilson Simplifying the design of DC motor control circuits was the aim of a number of microcontroller announcements at last ...

Mounting a motor on a PCB is nothing new, right? But how about making the PCB itself part of the motor? That’s what [Carl Bugeja] has done with his brushless DC motor in a PCB project, and we think it ...

Note: This specialization requires purchase of a hardware kit in order to apply your knowledge and skill with real world tools. The hardware will be used to complete the lab exercises across the four ...

This triac-based 220V AC motor speed controller circuit is designed for controlling the speed of small household motors like drill machines. The speed of the motor can be controlled by changing the ...

TT electronics IRC Wirewound and Film Technologies Division recently introduced a surface-mount high-surge resistor for use in small motor control circuit designs in automotive and industrial ...
