The energy-efficiency regulatory update scheduled for 2023 will affect builders of HVAC equipment, industrial fans, cooling towers and pumps, including those used in irrigation systems. The new ...

The global price of energy is at an all-time high, with few signs of relief in sight, making consumers and businesses alike interested in energy conservation. Currently, the most common motor type in ...

IE5+ permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) from NORD Drivesystems deliver the highest energy efficiency available in the ...

Permanent Magnet AC motors hold the largest market share because they are more efficient, have a higher torque-to-weight ratio, and perform better in variable speed applications than other motors.

There seems to be some confusion within the industry about the terms “permanent magnet synchronous motors” (PMSMs) and “brushless DC (BLDC) motors”. I’ve talked with several different application ...

Having reviewed the basics of BLDC motor control in Part 1, the design effort canbegin.. The first quest is to select a microcontroller. Looking in themarketplace there are several microcontrollers ...

We recently published an article on the Power Electronics with the headline, “Unique Motor Uses Only Permanent Magnets – No Electric Power Required.” We received a firestorm of criticism that this ...

Did you know GM invented the domestic, affordable permanent magnet? Before this neodymium-iron-boron magnet came along in 1984, electric motors, generators, audio speakers, hard-disk drives, and the ...
