Developed by Farnell element14, the S12ZVML-MINIBRD variable speed motor control kit is based on the Freescale S12 MagniV. It includes both the hardware and software needed to get a variable speed ...

ON Semiconductor has introduced a motor development kit for motors up to 4kW, and soon to 10kW. “In order to improve efficiency, ac induction motor drives designers must understand how these and other ...

Variable speed control of a compressor motor significantly reduces both the peak and average energy consumption. However, since the standards for air conditioners require a reduction in the seasonal ...

Furnaces with variable-speed blower motors are becoming more popular - no question about it. The benefits include electrical efficiency because a variable-speed motor consumes less energy than a ...

“A bunch of things are coming together.” That's how V Sukumar, a senior applications manager for Fairchild Semiconductor, begins a discussion of trends in motor control for the white-goods market.

Speed, torque, and horsepower are three inter-related parameters in motor control. The speed of a motor, measured in revolutions per minute (rpm), defines a motor's ability to spin at a rate per unit ...

Christopher Mohalley, Genteq’s master trainer, discussed how variable speed adjusts to changing parameters. “Variable speed describes an electronically controlled motor that can vary its operating ...

Washing machines, refrigerators, dishwashers, air conditioners, and other appliances sell more on their "green" credentials, like a high-energy-efficiency rating, than other factors. The use of speed ...

It is interesting to look at figures from the Energy Information Administration about where energy gets consumed in our economy. These figures reveal that industrial uses account for 31% of all energy ...
