RPM Controller Circuit for Diesel Generators
In this post I have explained a diesel generator RPM controller circuit for boats using PWM technique and also using a simple triac shunt circuit. The idea was requested by Mr. Dave. Circuit Objectives and Requirements I have been looking with interest at your electronic circuits web site and would appreciate it you could comment […]
Automatic Torque Optimizer Circuit in Electric Motors
In this article I have explained a circuit design which will help to optimize the torque of an induction motor used in electric vehicles, by analyzing its current consumption. Using a IC 555 Inverter for Toque Control The design is specifically intended for electric vehicles which are designed to work with induction motors, and therefore here […]
How to Control Motor with a Cell Phone
In the following post I have explained a very simple circuit idea which can be used for controlling a motor’s rotational direction i.e. for moving it either clockwise or anticlockwise through alternate miss calls from your cell phone. The Circuit Concept I have already discussed a novel cell phone controlled remote switch circuit where the […]
How Stepper Motors Work
In this post I have explained about stepper motor. We will be exploring what stepper motor is, its fundamental working mechanism, types of stepper motor, stepping modes, and lastly its advantages and disadvantages. What is stepper motor? Stepper motor is brushless motor; its rotating shaft (rotor) completes one rotation with a determined number of steps. […]
Understanding Scalar (V/f) Control for Induction Motors
In this article I will try to explain how scalar control algorithm is implemented for controlling induction motor speed with relatively straightforward calculations, and yet achieve a reasonably good linearly variable speed control of the motor. Reports from many top market analysis reveal that induction motors are the most popular when it comes to handling […]
