  2. Wound rotor motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_rotor_motor

    Compared to a squirrel-cage rotor, the rotor of the slip ring motor has more winding turns; the induced voltage is then higher, and the current lower, than for a squirrel-cage rotor. During the start-up a typical rotor has 3 poles connected to the slip ring. Each pole is wired in series with a variable power resistor.

    However, the slip power was lost in the resistors. Thus means to increase the efficiency in variable speed operation by recovering the slip power were developed. In Krämer (or Kraemer) drives the rotor was connected to an AC and DC machine set that fed a DC machine connected to the shaft of the slip ring machine. [7] Thus the slip power was ...

  4. Slip ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_ring

    In this example, the slip rings have a brush-lifting device and a sliding contact bar, allowing the slip-rings to be short-circuited when no longer required. This can be used in starting a slip-ring induction motor, for example. A slip ring is an electromechanical device that allows the transmission of power and electrical signals from a ...

    They are used in the rotor circuits of large slip ring induction motors to control starting current, torque and to limit large electrical fault currents (while other protection systems operate to clear or isolate the fault).

  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. Starter (engine) - Wikipedia

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

    An automobile starter motor (larger cylinder). The smaller object on top is a starter solenoid which controls power to the starter motor and engages the Bendix drive.. A starter (also self-starter, cranking motor, or starter motor) is a device used to rotate (crank) an internal-combustion engine so as to initiate the engine's operation under its own power.

  8. 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 ...
