2. Ward Leonard control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Leonard_control

   The key feature of the Ward Leonard control system is the ability to smoothly vary the speed of a DC motor, including reversing it, by controlling the field and hence the output voltage of a DC generator, as well as the field of the motor itself. As the speed of a DC motor is dictated by the supplied voltage, this gives simple speed control ...

3. Variable-frequency drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-frequency_drive

   Small variable-frequency drive Chassis of above VFD (cover removed). A variable-frequency drive (VFD, or adjustable-frequency drive, adjustable-speed drive, variable-speed drive, AC drive, micro drive, inverter drive, variable voltage variable frequency drive, or drive) is a type of AC motor drive (system incorporating a motor) that controls speed and torque by varying the frequency of the ...

4. Chopper (electronics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chopper_(electronics)

   VL dc = D × V volts: V o = V/(1 – D) volts External inductance: Not required: Required for boosting the output voltage Use: For motoring operation, for motor load: For regenerative braking for motor load. Type of chopper: Single quadrant: Single quadrant Quadrant of operation: 1st quadrant: 1st quadrant Applications: Motor speed control

5. Electronic speed control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_speed_control

   An electronic speed control follows a speed reference signal (derived from a throttle lever, joystick, or other manual input) and varies the switching rate of a network of field effect transistors (FETs). [1] By adjusting the duty cycle or switching frequency of the transistors, the speed of the motor is changed. The rapid switching of the ...

6. Motor drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_drive

   A variable speed motor drive is a system that includes a motor that is continuously variable in speed. If the motor is generating electrical energy rather than using it, the motor drive could be called a generator drive but is often still referred to as a motor drive. A variable frequency drive (VFD) or variable speed drive (VSD

7. DC motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_motor

   DC motors were the first form of motors widely used, as they could be powered from existing direct-current lighting power distribution systems. A DC motor's speed can be controlled over a wide range, using either a variable supply voltage or by changing the strength of current in its field windings.
