As a result, remote control technologies are being widely adopted across various sectors. Among the many components used in ...

Motor control centers (MCCs) were first introduced in 1937 as a way to conserve wall and/or floor space in industrial facilities. Before 1960, wall-mounted motor starters were used even if only a few ...

When we bought our 2022 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon with the 3.0-liter V-6 EcoDiesel, we had plans to use it to tow a small travel-trailer on-road and off. The Jeep came from the factory with the ...

Over three decades ago, real-time software was predominantly written in assembly language or a combination of assembly and the C programming language. Even today, certain digital signal processing ...

Designers of motion control applications are under pressure to optimize performance and efficiency while keeping component count and space to an absolute minimum. The ideal situation is sensorless ...

En route to getting the off-the-peg DC-51 motor speed controller to better suit my small milling machine, I had a go at working out what the circuit is. Approx circuit of DC-51 motor speed controller ...

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 ...

Consistency is a term that applies as much to street/strip Mustangs as it does to all-out race cars. It's due to the trickle-down effect, and one such component to help anyone be more consistent in a ...

Back in November of 2010, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (MEC) announced that it was actively developing what it claimed to be the “world’s smallest and lightest” motor controller unit for electric ...

Sophisticated motor control is no longer the sole province of custom hardware and proprietary control techniques. Advances in powerful, low-cost digital-signal controllers (DSCs) let designers use ...

Industrial companies have put a greater focus in recent years on addressing a top electrical safety risk: arc flash events. Arc flashes can be created by a wide range of actions, from a dropped tool, ...
