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 ...

Inrush currents associated with motor starting and transformer energizing can cause interaction problems with other loads in a facility or on the power system, particularly sags that trip loads.

A soft starter has thyristors in its main circuit by which it adjusts motor voltage. Motors that run typical industrial applications employing conveyors, pumps, blowers, and compressors all have one ...

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 ...

There are several reasons to use a three-phase inverter to run a single-phase induction motor, including isolation from variable power grids, reduction of peak currents and elimination of the starting ...

Sometimes the hardest part is getting started. Choose the best motor starting method for a particular application by keeping a few guidelines in mind. For example, while across-the-line starting is ...
