To some, motor speed control is somewhat of a mystical science, a science that causes motors and machines to sometimes operate in unexpected ways. Over 30 years ago, AC drives were considered "new ...

The main components of AC motors are stators and rotors. The two basic types of AC motors are induction and synchronous motors. AC motors can operate on single-phase or three-phase power. In general, ...

AC Induction Motor Induction motors derive their name from the fact that current is induced into the rotor windings without any physical connection with the stator windings (which are directly ...

Create hardware and firmware to process motor feedback data to a microprocessor for further evaluation. In module 1 you will learn principles of operation of AC induction motors, both single and ...

Tesla Motors CEO Martin Eberhard is an electrical engineer, so he's qualified to describe the 284-horsepower 3-phase, 4-pole AC induction motor that will power the revolutionary Tesla Roadster.
