Starting of Electric Drives: The most important processes associated with controlled electric drives are (i) starting, (ii) speed control (iii) braking, (iv) reversal of direction of rotation. All these are transient processes that occur in…
Repulsion Induction Motor - Construction, Working Principle and Applications: The repulsion induction motor has a single phase stator winding, as a repulsion-start induction motor has, but it has two separate and independent windings on rotor…
Repulsion Start Induction Motor - Working Principle: As the name implies, the repulsion-start induction motor starts as a repulsion motor and runs as an induction motor. The general construction of a repulsion-start induction motor is…
Compensated Repulsion Motor - Construction and Working Principle: Compensated Repulsion Motor is a modified form of the repulsion motor. It is provided with an additional winding, called the compensating winding, to improve power factor and…
Repulsion Motor - Construction, Working Principle and Applications: The characteristics of repulsion motors are similar to those of a series motor, i.e., high starting torque and high light-load speed. Its construction is also similar to…
Universal Motor - Construction, Working Principle and Applications: A universal motor is a specifically designed series wound motor, that operates at approximately the same speed and output on either dc or ac of approximately same…
Permanent Capacitor Single Phase Induction Motor: Permanent capacitor single phase induction motor, also sometimes called the single-value capacitor—run motor, has two stator windings placed mutually 90 electrical degrees apart. The main or running winding is…
Capacitor-Start Capacitor-Run Single Phase Induction Motor: The capacitor-start capacitor-run motor is similar to capacitor-start, induction-run motor, except that the auxiliary winding and a capacitor remain connected in the circuit at all times. Of course, such…
Resistance Start Single Phase Induction Motor: It is a form of split-phase motor having a high resistance connected in series with the auxiliary or starting winding, as illustrated in Fig. 1.38 (a). A typical torque-speed…
Three Phase AC Shunt Commutator Motor: The connection diagram of a three phase ac shunt commutator motor is shown in Fig. 1.37. In this motor, the stator is connected directly to the supply while the…
