Webcast Highlights Fundamentals of Motor Evolution

Fairchild Semiconductor a leading global supplier of high performance products that enable energy-efficiency, announced the availability of a new webcast focusing on motor evolution

Fairchild Semiconductor a leading global supplier of high performance products that enable energy-efficiency, announced the availability of a new webcast focusing on motor evolution.

With more than half of the world’s energy consumed in driving motors – such as air conditioners, refrigerators, elevators and factory automation – motor control is a prime application for energy-efficiency improvements. For example, moving from a single-phase AC motor to a variable speed motor can result in up to 40 percent energy savings.

The webcast discusses the need for electronic controls for motors, including power factor correction (PFC), energy-efficiency improvements and precision control of speed, torque and power.

The approximately 15 minute webcast examines the evolution of motors – from Faraday’s initial demonstration of the basic foundation of the electric motor through today’s developments in motor technology. The discussion includes the most common types of motors – Brush DC Motors, AC Induction Motors, Brushless DC Motors and Switched Reluctance Motors.

Fairchild is an industry leading supplier of high performance discrete and highly-integrated module solutions for motor applications. Fairchild’s power MOSFETs, Motion-SPM™ products, optocouplers, power switches, PFC-SPM™ products, HVICs, STEALTH™ diodes and triacs increase efficiency, simplify design and reduce system cost in motor applications.
