Motors account for at least half of the energy consumed in the U.S. Selecting the right control method for an application lets the motor run most efficiently while maximizing torque and overall ...

The past few decades have seen a rise in the use of field-oriented control in induction motor applications. One advantage of field-oriented control - The past few decades have seen a rise in the use ...

This application note discusses the Field Oriented Control (FOC) of 3-phase AC induction motors. Field Oriented Control is also referred to as Space Vector Control. Vector control provides efficient ...

1. Field-oriented control (FOC), also known as vector control, maintains a constant stator field in quadrature with the rotor field irrespective of any bandwidth limitations presented by the PI ...

Choosing the right motor and VFD type depends on a variety of factors, however, it is necessary to first look at how the characteristics of a motor change when the speed is reduced —Sponsored article ...
