  2. Shaded-pole motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaded-pole_motor

    The shaded-pole motor is the original type of AC single-phase electric motor, dating back to at least as early as 1890. [1] A shaded-pole motor is a motor, in which the auxiliary winding is composed of a copper ring or bar surrounding a portion of each pole to produce a weakly rotating magnetic field . [ 2 ]

  3. Rotating magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_magnetic_field

    The rotating magnetic field is the key principle in the operation of induction machines.The induction motor consists of a stator and rotor.In the stator a group of fixed windings are so arranged that a two phase current, for example, produces a magnetic field which rotates at an angular velocity determined by the frequency of the alternating current.

  4. Wagon-wheel effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagon-wheel_effect

    Because of this, it is advised that single-phase lighting be avoided in workshops and factories. For example, a factory that is lit from a single-phase supply with basic fluorescent lighting will have a flicker of twice the mains frequency, either at 100 or 120 Hz (depending on country); thus, any machinery rotating at multiples of this ...

  5. Induction motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_motor

    A single phase induction motor requires separate starting circuitry to provide a rotating field to the motor. The normal running windings within such a single-phase motor can cause the rotor to turn in either direction, so the starting circuit determines the operating direction.

  6. Stroboscopic effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroboscopic_effect

    It accounts for the "wagon-wheel effect", so-called because in video, spoked wheels (such as on horse-drawn wagons) sometimes appear to be turning backwards. A strobe fountain, a stream of water droplets falling at regular intervals lit with a strobe light , is an example of the stroboscopic effect being applied to a cyclic motion that is not ...

  7. Excitation (magnetic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excitation_(magnetic)

    An electric generator or electric motor consists of a rotor spinning in a magnetic field. The magnetic field may be produced by permanent magnets or by field coils . In the case of a machine with field coils, a current must flow in the coils to generate ( excite ) the field, otherwise no power is transferred to or from the rotor.

  8. Electric machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_machine

    The winding phases of the 3-phase motor must be energized in a sequence for a motor to rotate, for example the phase V lagging phase U by 120°, and phase W lagging the phase V (U > V > W, normal phase rotation, positive sequence). If the sequence is reversed (W < V < U), the motor will rotate in the opposite direction (negative sequence).

  9. Rotor (electric) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotor_(electric)

    An early example of electromagnetic rotation was the first rotary machine built by Ányos Jedlik with electromagnets and a commutator, in 1826-27. [2] Other pioneers in the field of electricity include Hippolyte Pixii who built an alternating current generator in 1832, and William Ritchie's construction of an electromagnetic generator with four rotor coils, a commutator and brushes, also in 1832.
