2. Dahlander pole changing motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dahlander_pole_changing_motor

   A Dahlander motor (also known as a pole changing motor, dual- or two speed-motor) is a type of multispeed three-phase induction motor, in which the speed of the motor is varied by altering the number of poles; this is achieved by altering the wiring connections inside the motor. The motor may have fixed or variable torque depending on the ...

3. Induction motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_motor

   Induction motor. Three-phase totally-enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) induction motor with end cover on the left, and without end cover to show cooling fan on the right. In TEFC motors, interior heat losses are dissipated indirectly through enclosure fins, mostly by forced air convection. Cutaway view through stator of TEFC induction motor, showing ...

4. Shaded-pole motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaded-pole_motor

   The shaded-pole motor is the original type of AC single-phase motor, dating back to at least as early as 1890. [1] A shaded-pole motor is a motor, in which the auxiliary winding is composed of a copper ring or bar surrounding a portion of each pole to produce a weakly rotating magnetic field. [2] When single phase AC supply is applied to the ...

5. Three-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-phase_electric_power

   Three-phase transformer with four-wire output for 208Y/120 volt service: one wire for neutral, others for A, B and C phases. Three-phase electric power (abbreviated 3ϕ[ 1]) is a common type of alternating current (AC) used in electricity generation, transmission, and distribution. [ 2] It is a type of polyphase system employing three wires (or ...

6. DC motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_motor

   The DC motor was the mainstay of electric traction drives on both electric and diesel-electric locomotives, street-cars/trams and diesel electric drilling rigs for many years. The introduction of DC motors and an electrical grid system to run machinery starting in the 1870s started a new second Industrial Revolution.

7. Squirrel-cage rotor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squirrel-cage_rotor

   By adjusting the shape of the bars in the rotor, the speed-torque characteristics of the motor can be changed, to minimize starting current or to maximize low-speed torque, for example. Squirrel-cage induction motors are very prevalent in industry, in sizes from below 1 kilowatt (1.3 hp) up to tens of megawatts (tens-of-thousand horsepower).
