When you get the call, “The motor won’t start,” you’d best have a logical and systematic plan in place to approach the problem. “Easter egging” just doesn’t work unless you happen to be very lucky!

Electric motors consume almost half of the electricity produced worldwide. They, in fact, provide the necessary driving force for much of today’s equipment. Motors, pumps, and fans are present in an ...

Electric motors, which convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, play an essential role in a variety of industrial and robotics applications. Given that electric motors account for ...

Altech’s load-safe LSF Series and RT Series non-fusible motor disconnect switches and accessories de-energize electrical circuits for safe maintenance, repairs, inspections and emergencies. RS has ...

When you study electrical engineering technology (EET), you study the lifeblood of today's technology: electronics and computers. Electrical engineering technology is a part of virtually everything ...

Figure 1: Existence of gap junctions between V2a interneurons and motor neurons. Figure 2: Motor neurons control the strength of synaptic transmission and the firing threshold of V2a interneurons.

To make something work using electricity there needs to be an electrical circuit; a circuit is a complete loop that electricity can move around. Electricity moves from the power source (the battery or ...

In Part 1 of this two-part series, we presented a 3-phase, 480VAC motor circuit with its associated controls (Figure). We stepped through a logical, systematic approach to troubleshoot the main power ...
