Although an increasing interest and use of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) can be observed during the last decade, the standard 3-phase Induction Motor (IM) is still the most widely used ...

This application note discusses the Field Oriented Control (FOC) of 3-phase AC induction motors. Field Oriented Control is also referred to as Space Vector Control. Vector control provides efficient ...

Apple is working on a three-phase AC induction motor suitable for an Apple Car, implementing the same basic engineering and motor design principles that Tesla uses. Titled "Electric motor with bar ...

Tesla made a significant change to its electric motor strategy with the introduction of the Model 3, switching from an AC induction motor to a permanent magnet motor. Now, Tesla’s principal motor ...

There are several reasons to use a three-phase inverter to run a single-phase induction motor, including isolation from variable power grids, reduction of peak currents and elimination of the starting ...

Ahead of releasing all the specs and opening orders for the Model 3 dual motor and performance versions, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been slowly releasing some details about the new versions of the ...

Selection of replacement motors is usually straightforward if the ratings are equivalent. Sometimes, however, a different type of motor is necessary or desirable. For success in these cases, it is ...

Here are the power and driver boards that [Miceuz] designed to control a three-phase induction motor. This is his first time building such a setup and he learned a lot along the way. He admits it’s ...
