2. Starter (engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starter_(engine)

   Starter motor diagram. The electric starter motor or cranking motor is the most common type used on gasoline engines and small diesel engines. The modern starter motor is either a permanent-magnet or a series-parallel wound direct current electric motor with a starter solenoid (similar to a relay) mounted on it.

3. Starter solenoid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starter_solenoid

   The starter motor is a series, compound, or permanent magnet type electric motor with a solenoid and solenoid operated switch mounted on it. When low-current power from the starting battery is applied to the starter solenoid, usually through a key-operated switch, the solenoid closes high-current contacts for the starter motor and it starts to ...

4. AC motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_motor

   Schematic of a capacitor start 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 ...

5. 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 ...

6. Bendix drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bendix_drive

   A Bendix drive is a type of engagement mechanism used in starter motors of internal combustion engines.The device allows the pinion gear of the starter motor to engage or disengage the ring gear (which is attached to the flywheel or flexplate of the engine) automatically when the starter is powered or when the engine fires, respectively.

7. 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 ...

8. Shaded-pole motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaded-pole_motor

   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 stator winding, due to shading provided to the poles, a rotating magnetic field is generated.

9. Air-start system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-start_system

   A direct start system as used on a marine slow-speed diesel is required to have up to 12 starts on a non-reversing engine or 6 starts on a reversible, or geared, engine. When starting the engine, compressed air is admitted to whichever cylinder has a piston just over top dead center, forcing it downward. [2]
