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.

Full-voltage, single-speed motor starters: Single-speed squirrel-cage motors have starters that fall into two categories: full-voltage or across-the-line starters; and reduced-voltage starters.

How the switched reluctance motor's (SRM) architecture eliminates the need for magnets and rotor windings. Why SRMs are some of the most rugged and cost-effective motor technologies available. A look ...

Startup techniques employed to overcome the problem of determining magnet position in BLDC designs. Cost-saving and power-efficiency incentives using sensorless motor drivers. Motor-driver solutions ...
