  2. Induction motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_motor

    Induction motors are most commonly run on single-phase or three-phase power, but two-phase motors exist; in theory, induction motors can have any number of phases. Many single-phase motors having two windings can be viewed as two-phase motors, since a capacitor is used to generate a second power phase 90° from the single-phase supply and feeds ...

  3. Shaded-pole motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaded-pole_motor

    The shaded-pole motor is the original type of AC single-phase electric 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 ]

  4. AC motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_motor

    A capacitor start motor is a split-phase induction motor with a starting motor capacitor inserted in series with the startup winding, creating an LC circuit which produces a greater phase shift (and so, a much greater starting torque) than both split-phase and shaded pole motors. This motor has a centrifugal switch which disconnects the ...

  5. Rotating magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_magnetic_field

    The rotating magnetic field is the key principle in the operation of induction machines.The induction motor consists of a stator and rotor.In the stator a group of fixed windings are so arranged that a two phase current, for example, produces a magnetic field which rotates at an angular velocity determined by the frequency of the alternating current.

  6. Shading coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shading_coil

    A shaded-pole motor is an AC single phase induction motor. Its includes an auxiliary winding composed of a copper ring called a shading ring (or shading coil with more than one turn). Its includes an auxiliary winding composed of a copper ring called a shading ring (or shading coil with more than one turn).

  7. Repulsion motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repulsion_motor

    700 horsepower Brown-Boveri-Déri repulsion motor with 10 poles to be used with 12 kV, 16 2/3 Hz single phase current. Two of these motors were used in the French electric locomotive Midi E3301 A repulsion motor is a type of electric motor which runs on alternating current (AC).

  8. Electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor

    The three-phase induction is now used for the vast majority of commercial applications. [57] [58] Mikhail Dolivo-Dobrovolsky claimed that Tesla's motor was not practical because of two-phase pulsations, which prompted him to persist in his three-phase work. [59] The General Electric Company began developing three-phase induction motors in 1891 ...

  9. Motor capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_capacitor

    A typical motor start capacitor. A motor capacitor [1] [2] is an electrical capacitor that alters the current to one or more windings of a single-phase alternating-current induction motor to create a rotating magnetic field. [citation needed] There are two common types of motor capacitors, start capacitor and run capacitor (including a dual run ...
