This application note presents the Field Oriented Control (FOC) of a 3-phase AC induction motors. It demonstrates the use of Zilog’s Z16FMC ZNEO! 16-bit microcontroller to implement Vector Control of ...

This document written by Steve Bowling, Application Segments Engineer at Microchip Technology, discusses how motor works and describes the AC induction motor, variable-speed ACIM control, and FOC.

The AC induction motor is often referred to as the workhorse of the industry because it offers users simple, rugged construction, easy maintenance, and cost-effective pricing. These factors have ...

For motor applications, engineers have several options at their disposal. Typically, engineers can choose between direct-current (DC) or alternating-current (AC) motors. Machine Design has covered the ...
