  2. AC motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_motor

    An AC motor is an electric motor driven by an alternating current (AC). The AC motor commonly consists of two basic parts, an outside stator having coils supplied with alternating current to produce a rotating magnetic field , and an inside rotor attached to the output shaft producing a second rotating magnetic field.

  3. 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 ...

  4. Motor capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_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 capacitor).

  5. Single-phase electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-phase_electric_power

    Single-phase distribution is used when loads are mostly lighting and heating, with few large electric motors. A single-phase supply connected to an alternating current electric motor does not produce a rotating magnetic field; single-phase motors need additional circuits for starting (capacitor start motor), and such motors are uncommon above ...

  7. 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).

  8. Commutator (electric) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutator_(electric)

    A commutator is a rotary electrical switch in certain types of electric motors and electrical generators that periodically reverses the current direction between the rotor and the external circuit. It consists of a cylinder composed of multiple metal contact segments on the rotating armature of the machine.

  9. Synchronous motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_motor

    Synchronous motor. Miniature synchronous motor used in analog clocks. The rotor is made of permanent magnet. Small synchronous motor with integral stepdown gear from a microwave oven. A synchronous electric motor is an AC electric motor in which, at steady state, [1] the rotation of the shaft is synchronized with the frequency of the supply ...
