As a new electrical student or a common man this questions comes in mind that why we prefer 3 phase power system. In recent years 3 phase electric wiring has become common and mostly used worldwide for power generation, power transmission, distribution and three phase engines or motors. A single-phase electric power supply is the… Read More »
A stepper motor is an electromechanical device which converts electrical pulses into discrete mechanical movements. The shaft or spindle of a stepper motor rotates in discrete step increments when electrical command pulses are applied to it in the proper sequence. Stepper motor (or step motor) is in fact a brushless DC electric motor that divides… Read More »
As you are familiar with the principle of a DC motor or DC machine that when it is loaded either as a motor or as a generator, conductors of the rotor are carrying the current. To better understand the concept, imagine the conductors which are laying in the magnetic field which is present in the… Read More »
What is a DC Shunt Motor? The shunt wound DC motor falls under the category of self excited DC motors, where the field windings are shunted to, or are connected in parallel to the armature winding of the motor, as its name is suggestive of. And for this reason both the armature winding and the… Read More »
What is an Electric Motor? An electric motor is an electromagnetic device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy by applying the law of electromagnetic induction. The first ever electric motor was invented by William Sturgeon in 1832 which was not promoted as for commercial purposes. First commercially successful electric motor was created in 1873.… Read More »
What is a VFD? As the name describes VFD or Variable Frequency Drive is motor controller that drives an electric motor by applying the varying frequency and voltage to the electric motor that are used in the case where we need to change the speed of motors depending upon the load requirements. Other names for… Read More »
