2. New York Central R-Motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Central_R-Motor

   R-Motor was the class designation given by the New York Central one prototype and a later fleet of 42 ALCO-GE built electric freight locomotives for use in the New York Electrified Zone. In conjunction with the P Motors , the Rs marked the second generation of electric locomotives built for the New York Central.

3. Three-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-phase_electric_power

   A three-phase motor is more compact and less costly than a single-phase motor of the same voltage class and rating, and single-phase AC motors above 10 hp (7.5 kW) are uncommon. Three-phase motors also vibrate less and hence last longer than single-phase motors of the same power used under the same conditions. [32]

4. Traction motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_motor

   The word traction from Latin, being the agent noun of trahere "to pull" in the sense of "drawn" [1] [2] [3] was used for the naming of traction engines developed circa 1870. [4] The first experimental electric traction motor tramway of 1875 was rapidly developed internationally for city use.

5. Two-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-phase_electric_power

   A simplified diagram of a two-phase alternator [1] Two-phase electrical power was an early 20th-century polyphase alternating current electric power distribution system. Two circuits were used, with voltage phases differing by one-quarter of a cycle, 90°. Usually circuits used four wires, two for each phase.

6. 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.

7. Fractional-horsepower motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional-horsepower_motor

   Servo motors and stepper motors are specialist types of fractional-horsepower electric motors usually intended for high-precision or robotics applications. Usually running from a DC supply, when combined with a planetary gearbox can offer accuracies less than 8 arc-minutes (2 ⁄ 15 ths of a degree, or approx. 2.3 milliradians). Due to their ...
