This solid-state thyristor (SCR) switch circuit is perhaps the simplest means of reversing a 3 phase motor. “Static” is a catch-all term that essentially means without moving (mechanical) contacts ...

Every day engineers design products that employ single-phase induction motors. Speed control of single-phase induction motors is desirable in most motor control applications since it not only provides ...

In some motorised applications there is a need to reverse the direction of the motor to achieve a specific aim – sun-tracking solar panel systems being a good example. In this article, Doug Sherman ...
