As an electric motor’s rotor turns in close proximity to the motor windings, a bucking voltage or back electromotive force (EMF) is generated. The back EMF (BEMF) generated across the start winding is ...
Single-phase motors, adjustable-speed drives (ASDs), and power factor (PF) correction applications often depend on capacitors to operate properly. This article explains how to test these critical ...
A squirrel cage induction motor must sense two or more electric phases to cause the magnetic field to start spinning, thus turning the motor’s rotor and shaft. Once the motor starts, the interaction ...
