The ZXBM1021Q20TC (621-ZXBM1021Q20TC) is a single-phase, variable speed, motor control pre-driver featuring built-in Hall amplifier and an integrated current control. It operates up to 18 V with speed ...

“A bunch of things are coming together.” That's how V Sukumar, a senior applications manager for Fairchild Semiconductor, begins a discussion of trends in motor control for the white-goods market.

Speed, torque, and horsepower are three inter-related parameters in motor control. The speed of a motor, measured in revolutions per minute (rpm), defines a motor's ability to spin at a rate per unit ...

For example, consider the United States, where the incoming line frequency is usually 60 Hz at 120 V. If an engineer has an AC motor with two poles (a pole pair motor), then the motor's synchronous ...

The way we control the speed of fan motors or pump motors has tremendously changed in the past two decades with the introduction of variable-frequency drives (VFDs), aka variable-frequency controllers ...

Furnaces with variable-speed blower motors are becoming more popular - no question about it. The benefits include electrical efficiency because a variable-speed motor consumes less energy than a ...
