In addition to industrial applications of variable-speed motor drives, the home appliance market is another major area where three-phase pulse width modulated (PWM) motor control drives are finding ...

Variable speed drives that drive three phase motors are ubiquitous components of industrial machines that help save energy and optimize systems. Traditional scalar control techniques for variable ...

The recent push to make everything smart or connected has led to some interesting evolutions in manufacturing. Application and infrastructure divided the use of electromechanical and fluid power.

IR-SA Integrated Technologies, a collaboration between International Rectifier (IR) and Sanyo Semiconductor, will design, develop, and market variable-speed motor-drive power modules. These products ...

It is interesting to look at figures from the Energy Information Administration about where energy gets consumed in our economy. These figures reveal that industrial uses account for 31% of all energy ...

The amount of energy saved by using variable speed motor drives adds up to a greener world, says David Tam of International Rectifier From home appliances to industrial control applications, ...

Variable speed drives (VSDs), sometimes also known as variable frequency drives, are electronic devices used to regulate the speed of an ac induction motor. Electric motors consume approximately 25% ...

ORLANDO, Fla. — Inside HVAC forced-air and hydronics systems alike, motors are hard at work blowing air, circulating water, cooling compressors, and more. And, while there are still a significant ...

Speed, torque, and horsepower are three inter-related parameters in motor control. The speed of a motor, measured in revolutions per minute (rpm), defines a motor's ability to spin at a rate per unit ...

In hydronic heating and cooling systems, circulator pumps move water or refrigerant throughout a closed-loop system in order to transfer energy from the source to the point of need. While older ...

Infineon Technologies has a family of power switchers which are designed for use in high energy efficiency electric motor drives of home appliances. The company claimed the use of variable speed ...
