In addition to industrial applications of variable-speed motor drives, the home appliance market is another major area where three-phase pulse width modulated (PWM) motor control drives are finding ...

Motors are driving demand for electricity, accounting for about half of the electricity we consume, according to the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). Many of these motors are found throughout ...

Variable speed drives (VSDs), sometimes also known as variable frequency drives, are electronic devices used to regulate the speed of an ac induction motor. Electric motors consume approximately 25% ...

The way we control the speed of fan motors or pump motors has tremendously changed in the past two decades with the introduction of variable-frequency drives (VFDs), aka variable-frequency controllers ...

Hydrostatic drives are widely recognized as an excellent means of power transmission when variable output speed is required. Typically outperforming mechanical and electrical variable-speed drives and ...

Variable frequency drives (VFDs), also known as variable speed drives (VSDs), are used to modulate the speed of motors in various applications, from hydronic water pumping to VAV fan units to vacuum ...

Today, around 40% of the world's energy is used to produce electricity, of which about half is consumed by electric motors. An estimated 7 billion motors are produced each year to control motion in ...

It is interesting to look at figures from the Energy Information Administration about where energy gets consumed in our economy. These figures reveal that industrial uses account for 31% of all energy ...
