This […]

An IEEE study in 2008 concluded that 60% of electrical energy in the United States is used to run motors, the vast majority of which are induction motors running directly on the grid. Historically, the use of the electrical grid to directly provide motion was the killer app of AC […]

Gary Box Digital Power Engineering www.digitalpowerengineering Abstract The advent of Machine to Machine (M2M) networking presents both an opportunity and challenge to the Motor and Drive industry, particularly for older applications that have yet to move to electronic control and higher efficiency motors. To get on the ‘Cloud’ these cost […]

Lowell Christensen, Founder, Vice President of Engineering TruTech Specialty Motors, Plymouth, MN Electric motors formatted to fit inside the wheel of a vehicle have their own special constraints that impact the design of propulsion systems. In-hub motors are traction motors in that they change rotary motion to linear motion. They are […]
