How the switched reluctance motor's (SRM) architecture eliminates the need for magnets and rotor windings. Why SRMs are some of the most rugged and cost-effective motor technologies available. A look ...

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 ...

Any electrical motor, from an idealized viewpoint, consists of two sets of magnets—one set stationary, one set free to move—placed in special geometric relation to one another. For most practical ...

Motor Starter is a device which is connected in series with the motor to decrease its starting current and then increase it as motor starts rotating gradually. It is an electrically operated switch ...

Every service technician should have at least one multi-speed motor in his or her truck, to help in making acceptable substitutions in the field. Multi-speed motors come in two basic varieties. The ...
