In Part 1 of this two-part series, we presented a 3-phase, 480VAC motor circuit with its associated controls (Figure). We stepped through a logical, systematic approach to troubleshoot the main power ...

This application note presents the vector control of a 3-phase AC induction motor using the Z8FMC16100 microcontrollers. This document also briefly describes the series of Z8FMC16100 flash ...

Note: This specialization requires purchase of a hardware kit in order to apply your knowledge and skill with real world tools. The hardware will be used to complete the lab exercises across the four ...

SAN JOSE, Calif.-- (BUSINESS WIRE)-- Power Integrations (NASDAQ: POWI), the leader in high-voltage integrated circuits (ICs) for energy-efficient power conversion, today unveiled new control software ...

Improving the energy efficiency of today's appliances depends on precisely controlling the speed and torque of three-phase motors based on various types of feedback. Fortunately, specialized MCU-based ...

When you get the call, “The motor won’t start,” you’d best have a logical and systematic plan in place to approach the problem. “Easter egging” just doesn’t work unless you happen to be very lucky!

Power Integrations’ updated Motor-Expert Suite now features three-phase field-oriented control (FOC) software, including a reconstruction algorithm that uses the phase-shifted trigonometric ...
