How the switched reluctance motor's (SRM) architecture eliminates the need for magnets and rotor windings. Why SRMs are some of the most rugged and cost-effective motor technologies available. A look ...

Somewhere in most engineering educations, there’s a class on induction motors. Students learn about shaded-pole motors, two-phase and three-phase motors, squirrel cage motors, and DC-excited motors.

A synchronous and synchronous motors are the two main categories of ac motors. The induction motor is a common form of asynchronous motor and is basically an ac transformer with a rotating secondary.

A special type of brushless motor is called a limited-angle torquer (LAT). LATs are constrained to produce torque through a rotation angle of less than 180°. But they are widely used to operate ...

We know that the rated rotational speed of an industrial motor is based on two fixed factors: the number of poles and the supply frequency. So if you install a 4-pole, 480V motor in a 480V, 60Hz ...
