AC Series Motor

AC Series Motor: A series motor can be run from either dc or ac (single-phase) supply provided that both stator and rotor cores are laminated to limit the iron-loss. Figure…

Split Phase Motor

Split Phase Motor: When a motor is provided with two windings, even though these are excited from the same voltage (supply being single-phase), the currents in the two windings can…

Single Phase Induction Motor

Single Phase Induction Motor: A Single Phase Induction Motor comprises a single-phase distributed winding on the stator and normal squirrel-cage rotor as shown schematically in Fig. 10.1 wherein for convenience…
