A typical two-phase AC servo-motor has a squirrel cage rotor and a field consisting of two windings: a constant-voltage (AC) main winding. a control-voltage (AC) winding in quadrature (i.e., 90 degrees phase shifted) with the main winding so as to produce a rotating magnetic field. Reversing phase makes the motor reverse.
An induction motor or asynchronous motor is an AC electric motor in which the electric current in the rotor that produces torque is obtained by electromagnetic induction from the magnetic field of the stator winding. [1] An induction motor therefore needs no electrical connections to the rotor.
In electrical engineering, the armature is the winding (or set of windings) of an electric machine which carries alternating current. [1] The armature windings conduct AC even on DC machines, due to the commutator action (which periodically reverses current direction) or due to electronic commutation, as in brushless DC motors.
A linear induction motor (LIM) is an alternating current (AC), asynchronous linear motor that works by the same general principles as other induction motors but is typically designed to directly produce motion in a straight line. Characteristically, linear induction motors have a finite primary or secondary length, which generates end-effects ...
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.
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.
The motor has a stator and a rotor but there is no electrical connection between the two and the rotor current is generated by induction.The rotor winding is connected to a commutator which is in contact with a short-circuited pair of brushes which can be moved to change their angular position relative to an imaginary line drawn through the axis of the stator.
The rotating magnetic field is the key principle in the operation of induction machines.The induction motor consists of a stator and rotor.In the stator a group of fixed windings are so arranged that a two phase current, for example, produces a magnetic field which rotates at an angular velocity determined by the frequency of the alternating current.
