There is a constant need and desire throughout the HVAC industry to spur innovation and create new products and ideas that can redefine the marketplace. In the realm of motors, the permanent magnet ...

Permanent Magnet AC motors hold the largest market share because they are more efficient, have a higher torque-to-weight ratio, and perform better in variable speed applications than other motors.

The global price of energy is at an all-time high, with few signs of relief in sight, making consumers and businesses alike interested in energy conservation. Currently, the most common motor type in ...

Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) are widely recognised for their efficiency and performance in applications ranging from electric vehicles to industrial machinery. However, the generation ...

There seems to be some confusion within the industry about the terms “permanent magnet synchronous motors” (PMSMs) and “brushless DC (BLDC) motors”. I’ve talked with several different application ...

Many engineers look at NEMA Premium grade as the gold standard for induction motor efficiency. But technical innovations now make possible even more power-miserly designs. By now, most engineers who ...

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 ...

Early incarnations of the electric motor first appeared in the 1740s through the work of Scottish Benedictine monk and scientist, Andrew Gordon. Other scientists such as Michael Faraday and Joseph ...

Combining the advantages of permanent magnet and induction motors, new synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM) offer potentially breakthrough technology for variable speed drive (VSD) and motor packages ...

The road to energy efficient HVAC may lead to variablespeed compressor technology and new electronics to drive it. Most engineers know that heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems ...

Danfoss Power Solutions has announced the launch of its Editron EM-PMI180 low-voltage electric motor. The 48-volt synchronous ...
