Abstract
Understanding the strengths and deficiencies of alternate motor drive technologies is paramount to developing better products requiring less and lower cost maintenance, or lower long-term support costs. In this paper, the authors show that, when selecting a motor drive for a particular application, more than costs and motor efficiencies are involved. A full comparison of drive and motor capabilities must be made based upon the particular application and its life span
