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 ...

There was a time when many 4WD enthusiasts were afraid of electronic fuel injection (EFI) on engines, preferring the “relative simplicity” of a carbureted engine that could be run in a pinch with ...

For those of us who've been around the block a few times I'm sure you remember hearing about the first 5.0L EFI Mustang engine swap into a classic Mustang. Maybe it was in your favorite magazine, or ...

There was a time when a hot rodder copied a basic wiring diagram out of a motor's manual and bought the switches, relays, and connectors at the local auto parts store. The wire was what was available ...

As variable frequency drives (VFDs) are becoming the primary go-to solution for motor control, their capability is not something that can be matched. With every new generation comes better performance ...

Both software and hardware are parts of all motor control systems such as IGBTs, WBG semiconductors and MCUs. Industry 4.0 strongly relies on motor control for its development but energy consumption ...

Deciding where to put your drives requires more than just casual consideration. If your VFDs are failing prematurely, it may be because they're located in your motor control centers (MCCs). MCCs ...

Demand for low-cost, robust motor drives has spurred increased use of sensorless vector control of induction and BLDC motors in everything from consumer Demand for low-cost, robust motor drives has ...

Bipolar stepper motors are used in many applications, from driving paper through a printer to moving an XY stage in industrial equipment. Typically, the motors are driven and controlled by inexpensive ...
