Electric fans commonly use low-cost AC motors built around capacitors, which now increasingly demand replacement due to high power consumption. However, while three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors ...

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 ...

For IGBTs, the on-state voltage drop is a critical specification to consider. This drop includes both the diode drop across ...

Electric motors, which convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, play an essential role in a variety of industrial and robotics applications. Given that electric motors account for ...

KAWASAKI, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has today started to provide engineering samples of a gate driver [1] IC, "TB9084FTG,” for three-phase ...

In the original version of this article, the second figure contained an error. The image has been updated. It’s important for engineers to have a good, working ...

Early incarnations of the electric motor first appeared in the 1740s through the work of Scottish Benedictine monk and scientist, Andrew Gordon. Other scientists such as Michael Faraday and Joseph ...

Made to keep up with higher reliability and smaller space demands, this new series has a protection circuit against the load short or open operation, and a space-saving built-in resistor for current ...
