The increasing importance of energy efficiency has brought electric motor makers to promote a variety of schemes that improve motor performance. Unfortunately the terminology associated with motor ...

American powertrain supplier BorgWarner has started production of e-motor rotor and stator for XPeng Motors, a leading Chinese Smart EV company. The components will be used on the X9 MPV as well as ...

Hyundai has recently provided an enlightening explanation of how electric vehicle (EV) motors operate, simplifying complex ...

A synchronous and synchronous motors are the two main categories of ac motors. The induction motor is a common form of asynchronous motor and is basically an ac transformer with a rotating secondary.

The power of a synchronous motor depends directly on the load angle: the greater the load angle, the more torque, which determines the power by the speed specified by the input gear and the ...

How the switched reluctance motor's (SRM) architecture eliminates the need for magnets and rotor windings. Why SRMs are some of the most rugged and cost-effective motor technologies available. A look ...

Three phase induction motors are commonly used is adjustable-speed drives and they have three-phase stator and rotor windings. The stator windings are supplied with balanced three-phase ac voltages, ...

Early incarnations of the electric motor first appeared in the 1740s through the work of Scottish Benedictine monk and scientist, Andrew Gordon. Other scientists such as Michael Faraday and Joseph ...

Somewhere in most engineering educations, there’s a class on induction motors. Students learn about shaded-pole motors, two-phase and three-phase motors, squirrel cage motors, and DC-excited motors.
