Heat processing of next-generation wide-band gap semiconductors is expected to require temperatures higher than 1500 K and rapid heat-up rates of greater than 100 K/s. Of the various methods available ...

Anyone who's tried to poach the perfect egg will know the average induction cooker isn't a precision instrument. You need the water to be around 185° F (85° C), but does that mean turning the knob to ...

Since AC induction motors have been established as the preferred choice for industrial motors and the need for reduced power in all aspects of design is ever present, the efficiency of these motors is ...

When one door closes, another one opens. Or rather, when they turn off the gas in your apartment for four months (and counting) for “safety reasons” you discover the genius of an induction burner.

This application note presents the Field Oriented Control (FOC) of a 3-phase AC induction motors. It demonstrates the use of Zilog’s Z16FMC ZNEO! 16-bit microcontroller to implement Vector Control of ...

There's no denying the appeal of an induction burner or cooktop. They have some key benefits – with the biggest two being speed and efficiency. Whether it's a single burner or a full cooktop, they ...

Induction cooktops use electromagnetic energy to heat cookware directly and require magnetic vessels, while infrared cooktops heat the surface and work with almost any flat-bottom cookware. Read Time: ...

The topic of motors and motor control techniques is wide and varied. Part one of this two-part article will cover the principles of alternating-current (AC) motor operation and control. Part two will ...
