Abstract

Since the beginning of electromechanics, the main motors produced and applied have been asynchronous, dc and universal motors. About 30 years ago, an important evolution occurred, triggered by the stepping motor revolution. New families of motors and electric drives appear: synchronous self-commutated motors; switched reluctance motors; special transducers and actuators. Four main evolution factors may be identified and are analyzed: the application requirement; the motor technology and materials; the peripheral technologies, mainly based on electronics and microprocessors; the design possibilities, based on parametric analysis. An important trend in the field of electric drives, including motor, power electronics, commutation, control and communication is the smart motor or integrated electric drive. This development is mainly based on function and component integration. A specific section is devoted to large motor evolution, mainly related to power electronics for current and speed control.
