To prevent a motor from burning up, you must provide a means of protecting it from overcurrent (overload, short circuit, or ground fault). If you can remember not to confuse motor protection with ...

Over on his YouTube channel our hacker [Yuchi] is building an STM32 BLDC motor winding machine. This machine is for winding brushless motors because manual winding is highly labor intensive. The ...

In the first installment of this series, "Calculating a practical hotspot safety margin", we discussed how two-parameter thermal models assume that the entire motor, including windings, exhibits one ...

For safe, long-term use of a compressor, the motor winding temperature must be kept below certain limits, in all conditions in which the appliance may operate. For example, compressors from AC ...

Two-parameter motor models assume that the entire motor exhibits one dynamic temperature. Four-parameter thermal models are just as easy to use, but far more accurate — and better for calculating ...
