Small and medium AC induction motors account for more than 75% of motor electrical energy demand; however, they typically receive less maintenance than their larger counterparts. This leaves them ...

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 ...

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 ...

The EX40’s driving and handling performance is great. Volvo’s new permanent-magnet rear- and AC-induction front-motor setup yielded darn near the exact same swift results as they did in our 2024 C40 ...

Somewhere in most engineering educations, there’s a class on induction motors. Students learn about shaded-pole motors, two-phase and three-phase motors, squirrel cage motors, and DC-excited motors.

A synchronous and synchronous motors are the two main categories of ac motors. The induction motor is a common form of asynchronous motor and is basically an ac transformer with a rotating secondary.
