  2. Wound rotor motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_rotor_motor

    During the start-up a typical rotor has 3 poles connected to the slip ring. Each pole is wired in series with a variable power resistor. When the motor reaches full speed the rotor poles are switched to short circuit. During start-up the resistors reduce the field strength at the stator. As a result, the inrush current is reduced. Another ...

  3. Reluctance motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reluctance_motor

    When a stator pole is energized, the rotor torque is in the direction that reduces reluctance. Thus, the nearest rotor pole is pulled from the unaligned position into alignment with the stator field (a position of less reluctance). (This is the same effect used by a solenoid, or when picking up ferromagnetic metal with a magnet.) To sustain ...

  4. Armature (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armature_(electrical)

    A DC armature of a miniature motor (or generator) An example of a triple-T armature A partially-constructed DC armature, showing the (incomplete) windings In electrical engineering, the armature is the winding (or set of windings) of an electric machine which carries alternating current. [1]

  5. Single-phase generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-phase_generator

    The design of revolving field generators is to have the armature part on stator and the magnetic field part on rotor. A basic design of revolving field single-phase generator is shown on the right. There are two magnetic poles, north and south, attached to a rotor and two coils which are connected in series and equally spaced on stator.

  6. Stator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stator

    Rotor (lower left) and stator (upper right) of an electric motor Stator of a 3-phase AC-motor Stator of a brushless DC motor from computer cooler fan.. The stator is the stationary part of a rotary system, [1] found in electric generators, electric motors, sirens, mud motors, or biological rotors (such as bacterial flagella or ATP synthase).

  7. Permanent magnet motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_magnet_motor

    Schematic of a permanent magnet motor using brushes and magnets in the stator. A permanent magnet motor is a type of electric motor that uses permanent magnets for the field excitation and a wound armature. The permanent magnets can either be stationary or rotating; interior or exterior to the armature for a radial flux machine or layered with ...

  8. Squirrel-cage rotor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squirrel-cage_rotor

    Diagram of the squirrel-cage (showing only three laminations) The motor rotor shape is a cylinder mounted on a shaft. Internally it contains longitudinal conductive bars (usually made of aluminium or copper) set into grooves and connected at both ends by shorting rings forming a cage-like shape.

  9. Wiring diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiring_diagram

    An automotive wiring diagram, showing useful information such as crimp connection locations and wire colors. These details may not be so easily found on a more schematic drawing. A wiring diagram is a simplified conventional pictorial representation of an electrical circuit. It shows the components of the circuit as simplified shapes, and the ...
