The way we control the speed of fan motors or pump motors has tremendously changed in the past two decades with the introduction of variable-frequency drives (VFDs), aka variable-frequency controllers ...

When implementing cooling solutions for electronic equipment, system designers are confronted with a complex set of variables. The cooling requirements are typically dynamic, and ambient temperatures ...

Speed, torque, and horsepower are three inter-related parameters in motor control. The speed of a motor, measured in revolutions per minute (rpm), defines a motor's ability to spin at a rate per unit ...

Many power plants regulate fan airflow with mechanical controls, such as dampers. In some applications using fixed-speed motors in combination with dampers may not be the most energy efficient option.

A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) regulates the speed of a 3-phase AC electric motor by controlling the frequency and voltage of the power it delivers to the motor. These devices, also known as ...

Cirrus-6 can control and monitor tach pulses from up to six 12, 24 or 48 VDC fans with open collector or 0-12 VDC control signal requirements. The controller accepts fan speed commands (including ...
