A DC Motor, or a direct current motor, converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. A DC Motor is one of the basic types of electric motors available on the market. The other type of electric motor is of course the AC Motor, or alternating current motor. Among DC Motors, there are shunt-wound, series-wound, compound-wound and [...]
AC Motors, meaning those electric motors which are of alternating current, are utilized in a variety of ways. However, it does depend on the specific kind of AC Motor in question. Firstly, AC Motors that are single-phase is ideal for a number of different circumstances. One such an example is systems that are in need [...]
AC Drive Control Techniques are a great choice if you are on the lookout for adjustable-speed drive users, simply because they allow one to fine-tune processes while at the same time reducing costs regarding energy and equipment maintenance. AC Drive Control Techniques can help cut your energy consumption and in turn reduce your costs. AC [...]
When you have a manufacturer’s manual available, the wiring of an AC Motor is not that difficult a job. However, if you have no manufacturer’s manual in your possession, wiring an AC Motor becomes a rather tricky situation. If you feel that you do not have the necessary technical knowledge regarding AC Motors, it is [...]

An AC to DC Inverter is a device used to convert AC (alternating currency) power to DC (direct currency) power. An AC to DC Inverter is commonly used to convert energy from a car battery (used as an example) to allow all kinds of electronic devices to be powered. (EP Normand is a South African [...]
An AC Drive is the device used to control the speed of an AC Motor. The speed is controlled by means of changing the frequency of the electrical supply to the AC Motor. The three-phase voltage in the AC Drive’s electrical grid is connected to the AC Motor; this creates a rotating magnetic field within [...]
