Electric motors are said to consume nearly 50% of the world's electricity. Industry is focused on replacing inefficient constant-speed drives and motors with microprocessor-driven variable-speed units ...

From tiny hysteresis motors that drive electric clocks to huge synchronous motors that develop more than 50,000 hp, the alternating current (AC) motor has become an indispensable part of everyday life ...

Since AC induction motors have been established as the preferred choice for industrial motors and the need for reduced power in all aspects of design is ever present, the efficiency of these motors is ...

Small and medium AC induction motors account for more than 75% of motor electrical energy demand; however, they typically receive less maintenance than their larger counterparts. This leaves them ...

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.
