A wound rotor induction motor is an induction motor in which the secondary circuit consists of polyphase winding or coils whose terminals are either short circuited or closed through suitable ...

vertical motor

Electrical equipment; Motors

A motor being mounted vertically (shaft up or down) as in many pump applications.

voltage

Electrical equipment; Motors

The force that causes a current to flow in an electrical circuit. Analogous to pressure in hydraulics, voltage is often referred to as electrical pressure. The voltage of a motor is usually ...

Loss encountered across a circuit impedance from power source to applicable point (motor) caused by the resistance in conductor. Voltage drop across a resistor takes the form of heat released into ...

vacuum degassed bearings

Electrical equipment; Motors

Vacuum degassing is a process used in the purifying of steel for ball bearings assuring a very dense and consistent bearing surface. This results in a longer lasting superior bearing. All Reliance ...

variable torque

Electrical equipment; Motors

A multi-speed motor used on loads whose torque requirements vary with speed as in some centrifugal pumps and blowers. The HP varies as the square of the speed.

transformer

Electrical equipment; Motors

A device which converts electrical power (alternating current) to electrical power of a different voltage. In this device both primary and secondary windings are usually stationary, and are wound on ...
