  2. Synchronous motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_motor

    The motor accelerates from slip speed to synchronous speed during an accelerating half cycle of the reluctance torque. [3] Single-phase synchronous motors such as in electric wall clocks can freely rotate in either direction, unlike a shaded-pole type.

  3. Motor constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_constants

    The rating of a brushless motor is the ratio of the motor's unloaded rotational speed (measured in RPM) to the peak (not RMS) voltage on the wires connected to the coils (the back EMF). For example, an unloaded motor of K v {\displaystyle K_{\text{v}}} = 5,700 rpm/V supplied with 11.1 V will run at a nominal speed of 63,270 rpm (= 5,700 rpm/V ...

  4. Swing equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swing_equation

    A synchronous generator is driven by a prime mover. The equation governing the rotor motion is given by: [1] = =, where: is the total moment of inertia of the rotor mass in kg-m 2

  5. Induction motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_motor

    Since rotation at synchronous speed does not induce rotor current, an induction motor always operates slightly slower than synchronous speed. The difference, or "slip," between actual and synchronous speed varies from about 0.5% to 5.0% for standard Design B torque curve induction motors. [30]

  6. Linear induction motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_induction_motor

    A linear induction motor (LIM) is an alternating current (AC), asynchronous linear motor that works by the same general principles as other induction motors but is typically designed to directly produce motion in a straight line. Characteristically, linear induction motors have a finite primary or secondary length, which generates end-effects ...

  7. Reluctance motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reluctance_motor

    The rotor operates at synchronous speeds without current-conducting parts. Rotor losses are minimal compared to those of an induction motor, however it normally has less torque. [2] [3] Once started at synchronous speed, the motor can operate with sinusoidal voltage. Speed control requires a variable-frequency drive.

  8. Electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor

    Rotation is equal to synchronous speed (motor-stator-field speed). 3. In SCIM, fixed-speed operation rotation is equal to synchronous speed, less slip speed. 4. In non-slip energy-recovery systems, WRIM is usually used for motor-starting but can be used to vary load speed. 5. Variable-speed operation. 6.

  9. Induction generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_generator

    The difference between synchronous and operating speed is called "slip" and is often expressed as percent of the synchronous speed. For example, a motor operating at 1450 RPM that has a synchronous speed of 1500 RPM is running at a slip of +3.3%. In operation as a motor, the stator flux rotation is at the synchronous speed, which is faster than ...
