Abstract: A motor controller coupled to a motor for a pump is described. The motor controller is configured to determine a first mode of operation for the motor, based on at least one of a predefined schedule stored by the motor controller and an input signal received by the motor controller from at least one ancillary device. The motor controller is additionally configured to transmit a first control signal to the motor to operate the motor in the first mode, and to transmit a second control signal to change an operation of the at least one ancillary device, wherein the at least one ancillary device includes one or more of a heater, a chlorine generator, and an ozone generator.

Abstract: A draft inducer blower assembly for use with a water heater has a housing, a motor, and a fan. The housing has an exhaust volute surrounding the fan and a base adapted to be mounted atop a water heater. The base has an inlet port adapted to receive exhaust gas from the water heater. The fan is connected to the motor for rotation about a rotation axis. The exhaust volute and the base are non-adjustably fixed relative to each other. The exhaust volute has a cut-off at a cut-off angle relative to the rotation axis. The exhaust volute has an exhaust outlet passageway that extends to an exhaust port. The exhaust port is lower than the top of the exhaust volute.

Abstract: A motor controller coupled to a motor is provided. The motor controller is configured to transmit a first instruction to the motor to perform a first start attempt utilizing at least one parameter in a first set of parameters, wherein the first set of parameters are not preconfigured for a specific application in which the motor is being installed. The motor controller is additionally configured to receive feedback associated with the first start attempt from the motor, and transmit, in response to the feedback, a second instruction to the motor to perform a second start attempt utilizing at least one parameter in a second set of parameters, wherein the second set of parameters differ from the first set of parameters.

Abstract: An electronic control module is provided. The electronic control module is operably connected to a power supply for providing power to a motor. The electronic control module includes an input device, a processor coupled to the input device, and first and second current supply lines. The processor is configured to generate a command signal in response to an input supplied by the input device and transmit the command signal to the motor. The command signal controls an operating point of the motor. The first and second current supply lines are operably connectable to the motor and the processor. At least one of the current supply lines, the input device and the processor are adapted to utilize the current supply lines both to transmit power to the motor and to transmit the command signal to the motor over the current supply lines.

Abstract: An electric motor controller and methods of determining which input power line of a plurality of input power lines of a motor drive controller has been energized are provided. An electric motor controller configured to be coupled to an electric motor includes a plurality of power input lines configured to receive an alternating current (AC) input voltage from an AC power source, an energized line detection device configured to sense that a power input line has been energized by the AC power source, and configured to output an isolated signal, and a rectifier configured to convert the AC input voltage having a frequency to a direct current (DC) voltage. The controller also includes a computing device coupled downstream from the energized line detection device and configured to determine which input power line has been energized.

Abstract: A centrifugal blower assembly includes a housing having an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface of the housing defines in part an interior space. The centrifugal blower also includes a first portion of texture applied to at least a first portion of at least one of the inner surface and the outer surface of the housing. The first portion of texture has a first height based at least in part on a local boundary layer height of an airflow moving across at least one of the inner surface and the outer surface respectively. The first portion of texture is configured to generate a turbulent flow within the airflow moving across the first portion of texture.

Abstract: An axial flux electric machine has a rotatable shaft, a fixed stator core comprising a ferromagnetic material and defining an axis of rotation, and a rotor assembly comprising a plurality of permanent magnets. The rotor assembly is rotatable about the axis of rotation. An axial air gap is defined between the stator core and the rotor assembly. The rotor assembly is axially displaceable towards and away from the stator core. The rotor assembly has a first position wherein the axial gap is a predetermined width greater than zero, and a second position wherein the axial gap is zero, such that the rotor assembly and the stator core contact each other.
