The great debate of copper vs. aluminum windings in motors is still going on. It’s a topic that I first wrote about in 1988, and it remains a topic of discussion today as engineers in a variety of ...

SAIC Motor has been granted a patent for an innovative electric motor winding structure. This design features a multi-phase winding arrangement using hairpin conductors in a grooved iron core, ...

Got a motor down? No matter how urgent the problem — and motor failure can cause some very urgent problems — always develop a plan of attack before you start repair work. Gather up any background ...

HIOKI recently announced the launch of the Impulse Winding Tester ST4030, which is the company’s first instrument to provide functionality for testing for defects in motor windings. HIOKI provides a ...

A motor control IC is a convenient way to implement custom motor drive algorithms such as the single-phase induction motor (SPIM) control. A generalized control algorithm, implemented and tested in an ...
