Description:
More than half of the total energy produced in developed countries is consumed by electric motors or, more precisely, converted into mechanical energy, freeing society from the tedious burden of physical labor. Among the many types of motors, induction machines still have the unparalleled popularity that they did a century ago. At least 90% of industrial drive systems employ induction motors.
Expand description
Most of the motors are uncontrolled, but the share of adjustable speed induction motor drives fed from power electronic converters is steadily increasing, phasing out dc drives. It is estimated that more than 50 billion dollars could be saved annually by replacing all "dumb" motors with controlled ones.
