Industrial motors require large quantities of energy when rapidly accelerating to full speed. To curb this issue, soft starters and variable frequency drives (VFDs) can be utilized to reduce inrush...

Three-phase topology has become the norm of all industrial motors due to the operational and economic benefits they possess. The most notable advantage of a three-phase motor is its ability to start...

Moore’s Law is hard at work, with silicon foundries churning faster-than-ever processors with every passing year. One may think that this tip the balance in favor of everything digital, but does it...

Electric power systems can be split into three zones, generation, transmission and distribution. While the first two parts are almost exclusively following a three-phase design, the last one also...

An electric motor takes electrical energy as input and transforms it into rotational mechanical energy that is delivered at the output. Motors may either by AC or DC, and can further be split into...

Electric motors are manufactured and available in two major designs, single- or three-phase. While both types of motors have their merits & demerits, three-phase are more commonly used for industrial...

Three-Phase Induction Motors rule the industrial and commercial sector due to their simple design, robustness and long-history of reliable operation. Once operational, the ease through which their...
