Click For Summary
Back EMF in motors is often discussed in terms of phase-to-phase voltage relationships, where the back EMF of each phase is defined relative to another phase. For instance, back EMF of phase A is measured with respect to phase B, while phase B's back EMF is measured against phase C, and so on. This concept is particularly relevant in field-oriented control systems. Understanding the reversible nature of transformers can provide insights into how most motors can also function as generators, generating back EMF or RPM-induced voltage. A deeper inquiry into these concepts can enhance comprehension of motor dynamics.

TL;DR
Understanding of Back emf of PMSM motor
When the back emf of the motor is referred does it always refer to phase to phase voltage. For example
Back emf of A is A phase with respect to B phase? (A+, B-)
Back emf of B is B phase with respect to C phase? (B+, C-)
Back emf of C is C phase with respect to A phase? (C+, A-)

It's this is concerning a field-oriented control .I hope this helps. Good luck to you.

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
