In troubleshooting situations involving a motor, more than half the battle is simply isolating the problem. Whenever there’s a working motor, there’s a load and there’s some sort of motor controller, ...

Many applications involving hydraulics and hydraulically-driven machines have load requirements that fluctuate greatly. In some cases, the peak loads last for relatively short periods during the ...

Motors differ from other types of loads in one important way: The motor needs much more current to start than to run. This temporary, but significant, inrush current is what complicates motor circuit ...

Permanent magnet DC (PMDC) motors offer smaller solution size and increased efficiency in applications such as portable vacuums and cordless electric power tools. When designing an isolated power ...

When the power fails, you expect your generator to hum steadily in the background, not to spend the night tripping breakers ...

As we've discussed in the last two Code Calculations articles, when calculating the total load on your system, you must first identify specific types of loads. Then, you can calculate each load. For ...

St. Louis, Mo. – CR Magnetics' CR6200 transducers come in different styles to measure single- and three-phase systems for active or reactive power. They are calibrated for 60 Hz to measure current up ...
