MOTORS 101: WHAT TODAY'S ENGINEERS NEED TO KNOW

摘要

The AC induction motor is a marvel of engineering. It is a purpose built machine that does its job extremely well. They are the workhorses of industry and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. There are a significant number of induction motors using the majority of the nation's electrical energy every year. Managing the existing motor population is critical. If high efficiency motors, variable frequency drives, and quality repair processes are implemented across the aging population, the impact for the future will be enormous.
