Motor Drives (Part 1 of 2)

This video, from Columbia Gorge Community College, is the first part of a two part lecture that provides an introduction to motor drives. Motor drives "power electronics devices that vary the speed and torque of a motor under its direction by varying the supplied voltage magnitude and frequency." The lecture summarizes the internal operations and examines specifications, features, and basic parameters of motor drives. This video runs 20:36 minutes in length. The second part of the lecture is available to view separately.
