This application note discusses the Field Oriented Control (FOC) of 3-phase AC induction motors. Field Oriented Control is also referred to as Space Vector Control. Vector control provides efficient ...

1. Field-oriented control (FOC), also known as vector control, maintains a constant stator field in quadrature with the rotor field irrespective of any bandwidth limitations presented by the PI ...

The past few decades have seen a rise in the use of field-oriented control in induction motor applications. One advantage of field-oriented control - or as some call it, vector control - is that it ...

There are many products with built-in motors around us, such as air conditioners, vacuum cleaners, and electric fans. As robots, drones, and electric vehicles, which are expected to make a big change ...

The topic of motors and motor control techniques is wide and varied. Part one of this two-part article will cover the principles of alternating-current (AC) motor operation and control. Part two will ...

Variable frequency drives convert ac power to dc and then reshape that current to control ac motors. All types control speed by varying current frequency, but one subtype — flux vector drives — uses ...

Geneva, Switzerland — STMicroelectronics has released a new motor control kit, built around the 32-bit STR750 microcontroller for speedier development of high-performance vector-control applications ...

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 ...
