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!

Reversing Motor Circuits provides a comprehensive overview of the various means used to reverse electric motors. Motor control circuits use various control devices to change the direction in which a ...

AutomationDirect announces the release of a new White Paper, “Basic Pneumatic Circuits”, which discusses common pneumatic circuits that can be used alone or as building blocks in larger pneumatics ...

Note: This specialization requires purchase of a hardware kit in order to apply your knowledge and skill with real world tools. The hardware will be used to complete the lab exercises across the four ...

This webinar is a beginner’s course to help system designers understand the fundamentals of motor control circuitry and common control schemes. This webinar is a beginner’s course to help system ...

Another intriguing issue is whether circuits in the remaining frontal agranular cortex—presumably involved in more ‘cognitive’ aspects of motor control—are organized in the form of primary motor ...

It is often necessary for persons other than licensed electricians to perform minimal electrical work in a commercial or industrial facility. This work must be performed in the same safe manner as all ...

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 ...
