Full-voltage, single-speed motor starters: Single-speed squirrel-cage motors have starters that fall into two categories: full-voltage or across-the-line starters; and reduced-voltage starters.

An introduction to the symmetric, multiphase, wound-rotor “synchronous” doubly-fed motor or generator system, called SYNCHRO-SYM. How SYNCHRO-SYM is only possible with brushless, automatic, ...

The topic of motors and motor control techniques is wide and varied. Part one of this two-part article will cover the principles of alternating-current (AC) motor operation and control. Part two will ...
