Brushless wound rotor synchronous machines (BL-WRSMs) represent an evolution in electrical machine design, combining the merits of wound rotor constructions with brushless operation to enhance ...

Carrier Injection Sensorless (CIS) rotor position estimation for electric machines depends on the rotor saliency "seen" from the stator terminals. Compared to permanent magnet and induction machines, ...

An introduction to the symmetric, multiphase, wound-rotor “synchronous” doubly-fed motor or generator system, called SYNCHRO-SYM. How SYNCHRO-SYM is only possible with brushless, automatic, ...

DC machines can be classified as self-excited, separately excited, permanent magnet (PM), and brushless. Self-excited machines can be further classified as shunt, series, and compound. Compound ...

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 ...

Selection of replacement motors is usually straightforward if the ratings are equivalent. Sometimes, however, a different type of motor is necessary or desirable. For success in these cases, it is ...
