  2. Wound rotor motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_rotor_motor

    Compared to a squirrel-cage rotor, the rotor of the slip ring motor has more winding turns; the induced voltage is then higher, and the current lower, than for a squirrel-cage rotor. During the start-up a typical rotor has 3 poles connected to the slip ring. Each pole is wired in series with a variable power resistor.

  3. Slip ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_ring

    The two most common types of slip ring. Slip rings are made in various types and sizes; one device made for theatrical stage lighting, for example, had 100 conductors. [6] The slip ring allows for unlimited rotations of the connected object, whereas a slack cable can only be twisted a few times before it will bind up and restrict rotation.

  4. Doubly fed electric machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubly_fed_electric_machine

    However, the slip power was lost in the resistors. Thus means to increase the efficiency in variable speed operation by recovering the slip power were developed. In Krämer (or Kraemer) drives the rotor was connected to an AC and DC machine set that fed a DC machine connected to the shaft of the slip ring machine. [7] Thus the slip power was ...

  5. Synchronous motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_motor

    This creates torque that pulls the rotor into alignment with the nearest pole of the stator field. At synchronous speed the rotor is thus "locked" to the rotating stator field. This cannot start the motor, so the rotor poles usually have squirrel-cage windings embedded in them, to provide torque below synchronous speed. The machine thus starts ...

  6. Dynamo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamo

    "Dynamo Electric Machine" (end view, partly section, U.S. patent 284,110) A dynamo is an electrical generator that creates direct current using a commutator.Dynamos were the first electrical generators capable of delivering power for industry, and the foundation upon which many other later electric-power conversion devices were based, including the electric motor, the alternating-current ...

  8. Circle diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_diagram

    The circle diagram can be drawn for alternators, synchronous motors, transformers, induction motors. The Heyland diagram is an approximate representation of a circle diagram applied to induction motors, which assumes that stator input voltage, rotor resistance and rotor reactance are constant and stator resistance and core loss are zero.

  9. Reluctance motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reluctance_motor

    Cross-section of switched reluctance machine with 6 stator and 4 rotor poles. Notice the concentrated windings on the stator poles. A reluctance motor is a type of electric motor that induces non-permanent magnetic poles on the ferromagnetic rotor. The rotor does not have any windings. It generates torque through magnetic reluctance.
