  2. DC motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_motor

    The motor speed varies as a non-linear function of load torque and armature current; current is common to both the stator and rotor yielding current squared (I^2) behavior [citation needed]. A series motor has very high starting torque and is commonly used for starting high inertia loads, such as trains, elevators or hoists. [2]

  3. Series and parallel circuits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_and_parallel_circuits

    Many circuits can be analyzed as a combination of series and parallel circuits, along with other configurations. In a series circuit, the current that flows through each of the components is the same, and the voltage across the circuit is the sum of the individual voltage drops across each component. [ 1 ]

  4. Universal motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_motor

    The universal motor is a type of electric motor that can operate on either AC or DC power and uses an electromagnet as its stator to create its magnetic field. [1] It is a commutated series-wound motor where the stator's field coils are connected in series with the rotor windings through a commutator. It is often referred to as an AC series motor.

  5. Brushed DC electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brushed_DC_electric_motor

    An output filter is sometimes installed to smooth the average voltage applied to the motor and reduce motor noise. Since the series-wound DC motor develops its highest torque at low speed, it is often used in traction applications such as electric locomotives, and trams. Another application is starter motors for petrol and small diesel engines.

  6. Electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor

    Field circuit – A set of windings that produces a magnetic field. Commutation: A mechanical technique in which rectification can be achieved, or from which DC can be derived. A: shunt B: series C: compound f = field coil. The five types of brushed DC motor are: Shunt-wound; Series-wound; Compound (two configurations): Cumulative compound

  7. Motor capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_capacitor

    Simple capacitor-start single-phase motor circuit diagram. [3]: 12 Note that starting capacitor is connected in series with auxiliary winding just like in LC circuit. Capacitor motor with a speed limiting governor device. Start capacitors lag the voltage to the rotor windings creating a phase shift between field windings and rotor windings.

  8. RL circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RL_circuit

    A resistor–inductor circuit (RL circuit), or RL filter or RL network, is an electric circuit composed of resistors and inductors driven by a voltage or current source. [1] A first-order RL circuit is composed of one resistor and one inductor, either in series driven by a voltage source or in parallel driven by a current source.

  9. Circuit diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_diagram

    A circuit diagram (or: wiring diagram, electrical diagram, elementary diagram, electronic schematic) is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit. A pictorial circuit diagram uses simple images of components, while a schematic diagram shows the components and interconnections of the circuit using standardized symbolic representations.
