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 ...

There’s great potential in salvaging a motor from a broken appliance, but so often the part in question is very specific to its application, presenting a puzzle of wires to the experimenter. This was ...

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 ...

The 3/4hp induction motor on my Rockwell mill is OK, but it has a bent shaft and mismatched step pulley. I'm upgrading the ...

I’ve been doing some light reading recently on the European Council for an Energy Efficient Economy website, specifically their recommendations for electric motors and controls from their recent ...

Sometimes you may need to correct power factor (PF) at a single motor. This means sizing PF capacitors for that motor. The good news: If you size these capacitors correctly, you'll lower your ...

Induction machines are widely shunned for EV propulsion because of their lower peak efficiency and larger volume and mass. DSD has set out to explore the viability of a high efficiency high specific ...

Apple is working on a three-phase AC induction motor suitable for an Apple Car, implementing the same basic engineering and motor design principles that Tesla uses. Titled "Electric motor with bar ...
