This application note discusses the peripheral trigger generator (PTG), its key features, and applications. Applications include integrated PFC and motor control, lighting control, one-shot pulse ...

Motors can be single phase or polyphase (3-phase). A single phase motor has a single alternating current source. A three-phase, or polyphase, motor is for use with three-phase power. Motors provide ...

Design engineers know that both brush DC and brushless DC (BLDC) motors can operate as generators, but many tend to avoid running brushed DC motors in generating mode because they believe it is ...

While renewable energy offers many opportunities for decentralizing energy production, it can sometimes feel that doing so on a truly local level remains unachievable with increasingly large ...

Figure 8 depicts an electrical vehicle climbing an incline moving forward (top) or in reverse (bottom). When the vehicle rolls downhill it will turn the motor pressed by the force of gravity so the ...

Today, most electric machines operate with radial flux (RF). Magnax offers a new concept, though—a machine that operates with axial flux (AF). Figure 1 provides a comparison of the RF and AF ...

Plug-in electric vehicles for passengers continue to become more mainstream within the automotive market, and the shift in that direction shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, Bloomberg New Energy ...

Power frequency converters take electrical input power at one frequency and voltage and provide electrical output power at a different frequency, and at a different or equal voltage. There are two ...
