Combining the advantages of permanent magnet and induction motors, new synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM) offer potentially breakthrough technology for variable speed drive (VSD) and motor packages ...

Early incarnations of the electric motor first appeared in the 1740s through the work of Scottish Benedictine monk and scientist, Andrew Gordon. Other scientists such as Michael Faraday and Joseph ...

Although an increasing interest and use of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) can be observed during the last decade, the standard 3-phase Induction Motor (IM) is still the most widely used ...

Danfoss Power Solutions has announced the launch of its Editron EM-PMI180 low-voltage electric motor. The 48-volt synchronous reluctance assisted permanent magnet (SRPM) motor is designed to drive a ...

New and increasingly stringent efficiency standards have made motor efficiency a priority among motor manufacturers and designers of motor-driven systems. While the Energy Independence and Security ...

This document written by Steve Bowling, Application Segments Engineer at Microchip Technology, discusses how motor works and describes the AC induction motor, variable-speed ACIM control, and FOC.

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 ...

ABB has created a liquid cooled synchronous reluctance motor series that achieves IEC international efficiency class 5 (IE5). It brands its synchronous reluctance motors ‘SynRM’, and is offering ...
