Talk:Motor controller

MCC (motor control center) - separate article?

While MCC's do relate to motor control, I've moved this into a separate article. The "motor controller" topic seems to refer more to a single motor controller (often not stationary).

Spam

A link to electojects.com has been repeatedly added to Stepper motor, Electric motor and Brushless DC electric motor by Special:Contributions/217.53.109.235, Special:Contributions/82.201.156.201, Special:Contributions/217.53.107.168, Special:Contributions/217.53.16.164, and others.

The link in question is registered to Abdoh Ali Mohamed, Hay Swesri, Nasr City, Cairo, Egypt.[1]

I wonder if the four IP addresses listed above have any connection... Naw, couldn't be. [2][3][4][5] Egypt is a big country. Must be a coincidence.

I'm going to start patrolling wikipedia for any links to electojects.com or redirects to it and deleting them on sight. If they come back, I'll move to blacklist the address. Mdsummermsw (talk) 18:27, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Wouldn't the section "Software" with the single link be considered SPAM? It seems irrelevent here anyway, and should appear on a page about embedded hardware motor controllers. stuston (talk) 14:36, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Control center? Scope of motor controller?

I'd judge these sections to be off topic (control center) or unfocused (Scope of..). Perhaps those who have written them can give their rationale for including them. --Pjacobi (talk) 19:40, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

On Oct. 1st 2005, I wrote the scope section as an initial attempt to describe how the term “motor control” is used and outline the different types of motor control equipment that might be of interest. I didn’t edit that article very much after that and I rarely edit anything now. -- C J Cowie (talk) 14:27, 9 January 2008 (UTC) AKA 65.26.227.118

Thanks for your answer. I'm not native speaker so I'm always fearing to misjudging something but I'm pretty much of the opinion, that motor controller has a rather fixed and narrow meaning as technical term (see the hits at Google Scholar) which is a subset of the common languahe connations of "controlling a motor". And that our article should focus on the technical term. --Pjacobi (talk) 10:40, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Notes

AC motor speed control - talk about why it's needed, can change frequency of AC supply or use the properties of the motor itself, slip, wound-rotor motors, variable frequency motor generator sets, Ward Leonard system, slip energy recovery. DC motor speed control - changes voltage applied to motor, phase control SCR drive from AC supply, chopper from AC or DC supply, weak field control. Strengthen applications section and show how more elaborate motor controls are used as more precsion is required from the motor. Lump all the solid-state VFAC together since the differences are in algorithms. Get back to this later this week, I have some refernences too - please, someone competent rewrite or expand. --Wtshymanski (talk) 14:55, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Under Motor Starters and in 2nd paragraph, should ELO be changed to" electrical one line (EOL)? Brian Heimbigner (talk) 16:08, 27 July 2012 (UTC)B Heimbigner

No mention of Star/ Delta starters?

Why is there no mention at all under reduced voltage starters of the Star-Delta starter? These things are pretty simple in their operation, using only 3 contactors and some control relays, I've wired hundreds of them and they are still in use to this day. If you'd like I could add a section on these starters, it just strikes me as strange that this hasn't been done while the original article was written? Trumpy (talk) 04:15, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

What is ELO?
