Motors

A defect in a winding which causes part of the normal electrical circuit to be bypassed. This frequently results in reducing the resistance or impedance to such an extent as to cause overheating of ...

shaft

Electrical equipment; Motors

The rotating member of the motor which protrudes past the bearings for attachment to the driven apparatus.

shunt wound dc motors

Electrical equipment; Motors

Integral-horsepower shunt motors, are used where the primary load requirements are for minimum speed variation from full-load to no-load and/or constant horsepower over an adjustable speed range at ...

split phase start

Electrical equipment; Motors

Motor which employs a main winding and an auxiliary winding, which is called the starting winding. The windings are unlike and thereby "split" the single phase of the power supply by causing a phase ...

speed

Electrical equipment; Motors

The speed of the motor refers to the RPM's (revolutions per minute) of the shaft.

reluctance synchronous motor

Electrical equipment; Motors

A synchronous motor with a special rotor design which directly lines the rotor up with the rotating magnetic field of the stator, allowing for no slip under load. The reluctance motors have lower ...
