The U.S. Department of Energy has indicated that 65 percent of electrical energy used in commercial and industrial systems comes from electrical motors powering centrifugal pumps and fans. Also, the ...

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% ...

A decent drill press is an essential machine tool for almost any kind of shop, and marks a significant step up in precision compared to a hand drill. The ability to drill square, true holes is one ...

Variable speed drives (VFDs) can (and do) save energy in multiple ways. Of course, the degree of savings depends upon the application, the drive features, and how you have the drive set up. Generally, ...

A VFD reports a low-volts fault when the drive's dc link voltage drops below 62% of the nominal level for the high setting (480 Vac) and 50% of nominal for the low setting (400 Vac). The +10% and -15% ...

Oftentimes the biggest obstacle indesigning an isolated dc/dc converteris the transformer design, a prospectthat sometimes discourages designersfrom undertaking an otherwisestraightforward design task ...

Certain electromagnetic devices such as differential transformers are effective at translating the displacement of a magnetic armature into an AC voltage, which is a linear function of the ...

What is a variable frequency drive? Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems' air supply used to be constant volume into a space. Now a variable air volume control is being used to provide ...
