  2. Three-phase electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-phase_electric_power

    An important class of three-phase load is the electric motor. A three-phase induction motor has a simple design, inherently high starting torque and high efficiency. Such motors are applied in industry for many applications. A three-phase motor is more compact and less costly than a single-phase motor of the same voltage class and rating, and ...

  3. IEC 60309 - Wikipedia

    This allows one to choose single-phase AC power at either 110–120 volts between phase and neutral or 220–240 volts between phase and phase. Since these two modes do not need three phases there is also a dark yellow-orange four-pin connector available designed for a single-phase 110–120 or 220–240 volt load.

  4. Mathematics of three-phase electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_of_three-phase...

    In electrical engineering, three-phase electric power systems have at least three conductors carrying alternating voltages that are offset in time by one-third of the period. A three-phase system may be arranged in delta (∆) or star (Y) (also denoted as wye in some areas, as symbolically it is similar to the letter 'Y').

  6. Korndörfer autotransformer starter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korndörfer_Autotransformer...

    Korndorfer starter with motor (M), autotransformer (AT) and three switches (1, 2, 3) In electrical engineering, the Korndorfer starter is a technique used for reduced voltage soft starting of induction motors. The circuit uses a three-phase autotransformer and three three-phase switches. This motor starting method has been updated and improved ...

  7. NEMA size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEMA_size

    NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) contactors and motor starters are rated by sizes. These sizes are grouped by rated current and power . [ 1 ] [ 2 ]

  8. Motor constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_constants

    If two motors with the same and torque work in tandem, with rigidly connected shafts, the of the system is still the same assuming a parallel electrical connection. The K M {\displaystyle K_{\text{M}}} of the combined system increased by 2 {\displaystyle {\sqrt {2}}} , because both the torque and the losses double.

    It is designed for three phase applications and is rated at 10 A, 250 V/440 V. The socket will also accept types 11 and 12 plugs, and the Europlug. The type 25 plug and socket has 3 rectangular pins, 4 mm x 5 mm, plus 2 flat pins (for L2 and L3). It is designed for three phase applications and is rated at 16 A, 250 V/440 V.
