Vector Motors is selling off the 1993 prototypes of its never-produced WX-3 supercar, apparently to fund development of its planned WX-8 hypercar. For those not in the know, Vector Motors is an ...

This application note presents space vector modulation, a technique that can be applied for AC inductor motors and 3-phae BLDC motor types. It demonstrates how Zilog’s Z16FMC MCU can implement ...

Oriental Motors has introduced sinewave drive vector controllers for its 30 and 50W brushless dc motors, improving speed tracking, reducing audible noise, increasing peak torque (15% for 30W types and ...

This application note discusses the Field Oriented Control (FOC) of 3-phase AC induction motors. Field Oriented Control is also referred to as Space Vector Control. Vector control provides efficient ...

Variable frequency drives convert ac power to dc and then reshape that current to control ac motors. All types control speed by varying current frequency, but one subtype — flux vector drives — uses ...

1. Field-oriented control (FOC), also known as vector control, maintains a constant stator field in quadrature with the rotor field irrespective of any bandwidth limitations presented by the PI ...

The world of American cars is filled with household names: cars and manufacturers that have become famous all over the world and made it into mainstream pop culture. Think of Ford with the Mustang, or ...

Jerry Wiegert, founder of Vector Motors and the mind behind the W8 supercar, has passed away at the age of 76, on January 15. No details were made known about his passing. Gerald Alden “Jerry” Wiegert ...
