Controlling the speed of three phase ac motor is done by controlling the frequency of the power line supply, since the motor is synchronized with the line frequency. Three phase ac motor speed controller is actually nothing more than three phase sine wave power inverter with variable frequency. The three phase power inverter is a [...]

This is AC mode universal motor drive circuit. This circuit is suitable for large range of application. It uses the microcontroller to interpret the user interface that is used to select the four operating modes that are defined in hardware. Here is the circuit : As power switch, this circuit use “SNUBBERLESS” TRIAC [...]

Stepper motor gives a simple, low cost, and accurate position control. Stepper motor can be driven by circuit mounted close to the motor, and controlled by a remote control circuit through long cable. The interesting thing of this circuit is that the power for both motor and the driver circuit is carried over two wires, [...]

Electric motor has been widely used as motion control, and many type of motor controllers have been designed to provide variable speed drives for the motor. The best controller is the servo controller, where a precise speed control is implemented using a speed sensor in the feedback path. The circuit of the motor controller in [...]

Stepper motor controller is needed to run a stepper motor, since a stepper motor cannot work by just connecting it to a power supply. To program a stepper motor to make a complex movement, we usually need a micro controller. Fortunatelly, for a simple movement like just rotating eith a constant speed, we can use [...]
