This Application Note describes the design of a sensorless 3-Phase Switched Reluctance (SR) motor drive based on Freescale’s 56F80x / 56F8300 dedicated motor control devices. SR motors are gaining ...

A quest for energy efficiency has fostered development of switched reluctance motors that are inherently simple and can supply variable speeds. They can be more efficient than induction motors and ...

Combining the advantages of permanent magnet and induction motors, new synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM) offer potentially breakthrough technology for variable speed drive (VSD) and motor packages ...

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 ...

In a speed controller, the motor’s speed (or velocity) is being controlled. There is an element that detects speed, whether it be a tachometer or some sort of encoder. This monitoring element provides ...
