  2. Synchronous motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_motor

    Synchronous motor and induction motor stators are similar in construction. [27] The construction of synchronous motor is similar to that of a synchronous alternator. [28] The stator frame contains wrapper plate (except for wound-rotor synchronous doubly fed electric machines). Circumferential ribs and keybars are attached to the wrapper plate.

  3. Reluctance motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reluctance_motor

    A reluctance motor is a type of electric motor that induces non-permanent magnetic poles on the ferromagnetic rotor. The rotor does not have any windings. It generates torque through magnetic reluctance. Reluctance motor subtypes include synchronous, variable, switched and variable stepping.

  4. Rotary phase converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_phase_converter

    He created an electric machine called a synchronous phase converter, which was a single-phase synchronous motor and a three-phase synchronous generator with common stator and rotor. It had two independent windings: The outer winding is a single-phase synchronous motor. The motor takes the power from the overhead line.

  5. Cycloconverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycloconverter

    Cycloconverter-driven synchronous motors need less maintenance and give greater reliability and efficiency. Single-phase bridge CCVs have also been used extensively in electric traction applications to for example produce 25 Hz power in the U.S. and 16 2/3 Hz power in Europe.

  6. Vector control (motor) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_control_(motor)

    In vector control, an AC induction or synchronous motor is controlled under all operating conditions like a separately excited DC motor. [21] That is, the AC motor behaves like a DC motor in which the field flux linkage and armature flux linkage created by the respective field and armature (or torque component) currents are orthogonally aligned such that, when torque is controlled, the field ...

  7. Superconducting electric machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_electric...

    A superconducting rotor does not have the inherent damping of a conventional rotor. Its speed may hunt or oscillate around its synchronous speed. Motor bearings need to be able to withstand cold or need to be insulated from the cold rotor. As a synchronous motor, electronic control is essential for practical operation.

  8. Switched reluctance linear motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_reluctance_linear...

    Difference between induction and reluctance force [1] Example of a switched reluctance linear motor . Switched reluctance linear motors (SRLMs) (also known as linear switched reluctance motors (LSRMs), variable reluctance linear motor or switched reluctance linear machines) are a type of electric machines called linear motors which work based on the principle of a varying magnetic reluctance ...

  9. AC motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_motor

    The brushless wound-rotor doubly fed synchronous motor system has an independently excited rotor winding that does not rely on the principles of slip-induction of current. The brushless wound-rotor doubly fed motor is a synchronous motor that can function exactly at the supply frequency or sub to super multiple of the supply frequency.
