This application note discusses the peripheral trigger generator (PTG), its key features, and applications. Applications include integrated PFC and motor control, lighting control, one-shot pulse ...

While renewable energy offers many opportunities for decentralizing energy production, it can sometimes feel that doing so on a truly local level remains unachievable with increasingly large ...

A motor-generator system mainly performs motor control to provide motive power and also controls regeneration by the motor acting as a generator. Advances aimed at lower fuel consumption and reduced ...

The quest for energy efficient electric motors has generated a lot of interesting ideas. One of the latest is said to push the efficiency of induction motors to better than super-premium levels by ...

Today, most electric machines operate with radial flux (RF). Magnax offers a new concept, though—a machine that operates with axial flux (AF). Figure 1 provides a comparison of the RF and AF ...

Design engineers know that both brush DC and brushless DC (BLDC) motors can operate as generators, but many tend to avoid running brushed DC motors in generating mode because they believe it is ...

As COVID-19 is increasingly emphasizing the importance of contactless services more than ever, the smartization in the logistics industry is taking place as well. In the meantime, a research team in ...
