TL;DR: In this article, a system and method for protecting a motor drive unit from an associated motor includes a motor unit protection system, which includes at least one switch configured to be connected between a motor and a plurality of motor leads of the motor driven by the motor unit.
Patent
Apparatus and method for transient and uninterruptible power
TL;DR: In this paper, an induction device that operates as an induction motor to energize a kinetic energy storage device, such as a flywheel, during conventional operating conditions is presented. But in the event of a loss of primary power, the induction device, which is fed ac power at variable frequencies, begins to operate as an inductive generator.
Patent
Board mounted microelectromechanic system (MEMS) sensors for motor diagnostics and analytics
TL;DR: In this paper, a motor having a circuit board including at least two MEMS sensors is described, and the circuit board is mounted within a housing of the motor using the same fasteners as an encoder.
