Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) are AC synchronous motors that receive field excitation by permanent magnets. These motors have sinusoidal back-EMF and are similar to brushless DC (BLDC) ...

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 ...

What if one innovation could redefine how industries consume energy, slashing waste and environmental impact while saving millions? Enter ABB’s new brushless synchronous motor, a technological marvel ...

As the march continues to make motor efficiency nearly 99%, the way motors are used and applied can make a big difference in the overall sustainability picture of any plant.

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.

Synchronous motors have a stationary magnetic field relative to the rotor. Permanent magnets or field windings through slip rings create the field. Induction motors have a rotating magnetic field ...

Electric motors consume almost half of the electricity produced worldwide. They, in fact, provide the necessary driving force for much of today’s equipment. Motors, pumps, and fans are present in an ...
