To achieve high power densities, hybrid inductor-capacitor switching converters are used. These hybrid inductor-capacitor switches prevent transient inrush currents, which usually cause loss in the ...

A motor control IC is a convenient way to implement custom motor drive algorithms such as the single-phase induction motor (SPIM) control. A generalized control algorithm, implemented and tested in an ...

Split Phase Motors These motors are known as the workhorse in the HVAC industry, they are usually used in air conditioners because these motors provide high starting torque. There are two common ...

A squirrel cage induction motor must sense two or more electric phases to cause the magnetic field to start spinning, thus turning the motor’s rotor and shaft. Once the motor starts, the interaction ...

Single-phase motors, adjustable-speed drives (ASDs), and power factor (PF) correction applications often depend on capacitors to operate properly. This article explains how to test these critical ...
