Continuing headlines about superefficient electric drives might lead some observers to wonder about the future of three-phase induction motors. The truth is that induction motors aren’t going away any ...

A quest for energy efficiency has fostered development of switched reluctance motors that are inherently simple and can supply variable speeds. They can be more efficient than induction motors and ...

How the switched reluctance motor's (SRM) architecture eliminates the need for magnets and rotor windings. Why SRMs are some of the most rugged and cost-effective motor technologies available. A look ...

They can be more efficient than induction motors and work at variable speeds. They are also inherently simple. For a time, they powered Maytag Neptune washing machines. Switched-reluctance (SR) motors ...
