A squirrel cage induction motor must sense two or more electric phases to cause the magnetic field to start spinning, thus turning the motor’s rotor and shaft. Once the motor starts, the interaction ...

Correctly installing capacitors at the terminals of your motors can lower reactive power requirements and increase system power factor. Induction motors are the primary source of rotary power in the ...

The diameters of the new series range from 25 to 40 mm at insertion heights of 58 to 120 mm. The new types are designed for rated voltages of 400 and 450 V AC and cover a capacitance range from 2 to ...

The QPC series of AC motor run capacitors feature locking push-wire terminals that speed installation and eliminate soldering. A metal mounting bracket also speeds assembly. Standard values range from ...

Out of all of the fundamental passive electronic components, capacitors are arguably the most abundantly used. In fact, it is hard to find a circuit board that does not have a capacitor on it and a ...

Variable capacitors may be useful, but the air gap that provides their capacitance is their greatest weakness. Rather than deal with the poor dielectric properties of air, some high-end variable ...

Mazda released details Friday of its new "i-ELOOP" (Intelligent Energy Loop) regenerative braking system - the first system to use a capacitor to store and release energy. The automaker claims the new ...
