Single-phase and 3-phase AC squirrel cage induction motors need some type of control circuit to initiate a start or stop function. The two types of ladder control circuits commonly used are the 2-wire ...

In Part 1 of this two-part series, we presented a 3-phase, 480VAC motor circuit with its associated controls (Figure). We stepped through a logical, systematic approach to troubleshoot the main power ...

The proper selection of 3-phase solid state relays for motor control application depends not only upon a comprehensive understanding of 3-phase SSRs, but also of the 3-phase power system and typical ...

AutomationDirect has added new motor control, phase monitor, alternating, pump seal, and intrinsically safe relays to its collection of relays. ProSense motor control relays from AutomationDirect ...

Toshiba has introduced a brushless dc motor driver that supports ASIL-D for functional safety in vehicles. Designed in accordance with ISO 26262 (2nd edition) and AEC-Q100-qualified, TB9083FTG is ...
