How the challenges of electric-motor control design can be overcome using digital twins in all design and test phases. How automated testing within a continuous and integrated toolchain is able to ...

EV drivetrain testing with a bidirectional DC source and regenerative DC load simplifies test setup, avoids catastrophic damage, and decreases test times. The regenerative electronic load uniquely ...

Most electrical equipment manufacturers provide life and performance expectancies with their equipment in the form of operation and maintenance manuals. Life expectancy is based on the premise that ...

Over three decades ago, real-time software was predominantly written in assembly language or a combination of assembly and the C programming language. Even today, certain digital signal processing ...

Running a brushed motor in muddy or dusty environments takes a toll on controllers, with both heavy back EMF and high stall currents. This explains one of the challenge in Europe’s Hacky Racer series, ...

A. The NEC defines a “controller” as any switch or device used to start and stop a motor by making and breaking the motor circuit current [Sec. 430.2 Definitions]. A controller can be a ...

Many of us will have experimented with brushless motors, and some of us will have built our own controllers rather than using an off-the-shelf part. Doing so is a good way to understand their ...

The first quad-motor EV from BMW M was recently spotted testing in icy conditions, revealing the high-performance electric car’s sporty design. The high-performance EVs are coming. After Porsche ...
