Position Sensors for Electric Motors

Position sensors can be integral to several electrical motors' motor commutation control loops. The motor control algorithm sets the currents through the coils and the timing of those currents. The angle of the applied field has to be in quadrature with the rotor's field direction for maximum efficiency. In this podcast with Alessandro Maggioni, Senior Regional Marketing Manager in EMEA for the Advance Solution Group at onsemi, we will analyze different aspects of rotary position sensors.
