As an electric motor’s rotor turns in close proximity to the motor windings, a bucking voltage or back electromotive force (EMF) is generated. The back EMF (BEMF) generated across the start winding is ...

Let’s face it, F-bodies aren’t getting any newer, and as they continue to age, more problems continue to arise. Take for instance, our new project car. Since we’ve managed to skip a formal ...

A popular style of fan motor used on older refrigeration equipment is the permanent split capacitor (PSC) motor. It is an electric motor made up of essentially two magnets: one is stationary (the ...

Got a motor down? No matter how urgent the problem — and motor failure can cause some very urgent problems — always develop a plan of attack before you start repair work. Gather up any background ...

Recent studies indicate the level of knowledge and implementation of motor system energy-efficiency measures is low. A plethora of information on motor system design, best practices, purchasing, and ...
