Note: This specialization requires purchase of a hardware kit in order to apply your knowledge and skill with real world tools. The hardware will be used to complete the lab exercises across the four ...

Single-phase and 3-phase AC squirrel cage induction motors need some type of control circuit to initiate a start or stop function. The two types of ladder control circuits commonly used are the 2-wire ...

When you get the call, “The motor won’t start,” you’d best have a logical and systematic plan in place to approach the problem. “Easter egging” just doesn’t work unless you happen to be very lucky!

The USB's many advantages have led designers to come up with a wide range of applications for the bus. For example, the figure shows a USB-based controller for four stepper motors built using ...

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 ...

“HW-687 is one easy module for adding speed regulation to your next DC motor-based project. It is a simple pulse-width–modulated speed controller providing smooth control with almost no jerks. There ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. At one time, designing products with motors was relatively easy. Brushed dc motors and single-phase ac induction motors didn’t require a lot of extra ...

The FCAS50SN60 integrates one high-voltage IC (HVIC) and low-voltage IC (LVIC), IGBTs, fast recovery diodes and a thermistor into one Smart Power Module (SPM™). This device comes in an ultra-compact ...
