• AC Motors
  motor because of winding ratios and thinner iron laminations. A dc series motor runs on ac, but with poor efficiency. A universal motor can operate on dc with essentially equivalent ac performance, but with poorer commutation and brush life than for an equivalent dc series motor. An important...
• Solid-State ac Power Sources for Transformer Testing
  High-power electronics can now replace motor-generator sets for testing distribution transformers. * Solid-state ac-power sources combine the variable-frequency and voltage-power sources into a single package. * Tests sets are hardened against impulse events like those caused by lightning-strike...
• Teccor Thyristors used as AC Static Switches and Relays (.pdf)
  types of applications are described in detail in "Phase Control Using Thyristors" (AN1003). The circuit shown in Figure AN1007.1 provides random (anywhere in half-cycle), fast turn-on (<10 µs) of AC power loads and is ideal for applications with a high-duty cycle. It eliminates completely the contact...

  driving). For 230V AC circuits it is a good idea to put 250V varistor to the circuit to protect the circuit against possible overvoltages. Snubber components in TRIAC circuits There may need to have snubber components around the RIAC to protect it from inductive kick-back when inductive load...
• Sensorless Brushless DC Motor Reference Design

A system. not particularly expensive. However, the Hall effect designer must consider the power level, efficiency...

  field. The term applied to this transformation is field-oriented control (FOC). This process results in two equivalent dc-motor current quantities: a torque-producing component and a field-control component. The ac-motor control system calculates the two quadrature voltages that force the current...

  reluctance, and synchronous AC. However these motor types are not typically used for positioning applications. Since these motors are more typically used for velocity and or torque control we will leave a detailed discussion of them for another time. Positioning motors 101. Many engineers are adept...
• Power Factor
  The purpose of this Tech Note is to clear up a common misunderstanding about the measurement of power in alternating current (AC) circuits. Most people with electrical experience have heard that power equals amps times volts. This is always true for direct current (DC) circuits, but the situation...
• Hybrid CAD for hybrid powertrains

RMxprt also can create statespace system models incorporating the physical dimensions of the machine being designed...
