insulator
Electrical equipment; Motors
A material which tends to resist the flow of electric current (paper, glass, etc.) In a motor the insulation serves two basic functions: 1. Separates the various electrical ...
inverter
Electrical equipment; Motors
An electronic device that converts fixed frequency and fixed voltages to variable frequency and voltage. Enables the user to electrically vary the speed of an AC motor.
jackscrew
Electrical equipment; Motors
A device used for leveling the positioning of a motor. These devices are adjustable screws fitting on the base or motor frame. Also a device for removing endshields from a motor ...
kilowatt
Electrical equipment; Motors
Since the watt is a relatively small unit of power, the kilowatt (kw), 1,000 watts, is used where larger units of power measurements are desirable.
locked rotor current
Electrical equipment; Motors
Steady state current taken from the line with the rotor at standstill (at rated voltage and frequency). This is the current seen when starting the motor and load.
locked rotor torque
Electrical equipment; Motors
The minimum torque that a motor will develop at rest for all angular positions of the rotor (with rated voltage applied at rated frequency).
losses
Electrical equipment; Motors
A motor converts electrical energy into a mechanical energy and in so doing, encounters losses. These losses are all the energy that is put into a motor and not transformed to ...
