One of the hidden complications of upgrading grain drying and handling systems is providing enough electricity to power the new larger electric motors. Electric motors that are larger than 15 hp ...

Having both 3-phase and single-phase loads can be challenging when trying to balance the voltages at a facility. It’s possible that during a facilities operation, one phase can be lightly loaded ...

This paper presents the system concepts and describes the circuit implementation of several key features. The increasing use of high-current brushless dc (BLDC) three-phase motors puts stringent ...

While software and other advanced technologies often capture the automation technology spotlight, the fact remains that not much happens in the manufacturing or processing industries without motors.

In the original version of this article, the second figure contained an error. The image has been updated. It’s important for engineers to have a good, working ...
