commutator
Electrical equipment; Motors
A cylindrical device mounted on the armature shaft and consisting of a number of wedge-shaped copper segments arranged around the shaft (insulated from it and each other. The ...
hertz (HZ)
Electrical equipment; Motors
One cycle per second (as in 60 Hz. which is 60 cycles per second).
compound wound dc motors
Electrical equipment; Motors
Designed with both a series and shunt field winding, the compound motor is used where the primary load requirement is heavy starting torque, and adjustable speed is not required. ...
horsepower
Electrical equipment; Motors
The measure of rate of work. One horsepower is equivalent to lifting 33,000 pounds to a height of one foot in one minute. The horsepower of a motor is expressed as a function of ...
constant torque
Electrical equipment; Motors
Refers to loads whose H.P. requirements change linearly with changing speeds. Horsepower varies with the speed, i.e.- 2/1 HP at 1800/900 RPM. (Seen on some 2-speed motors). ...
induction motor
Electrical equipment; Motors
An induction motor is an alternating current motor in which the primary winding on one member (usually the stator) is connected to the power source and a secondary winding or a ...
inertial load
Electrical equipment; Motors
A load (flywheel, fan, etc.) which tends to cause the motor shaft to continue to rotate after the power has been removed (stored kinetic energy). If this continued rotation cannot ...
