  2. Switched reluctance motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_reluctance_motor

    The switched reluctance motor (SRM) is a type of reluctance motor. Unlike brushed DC motors , power is delivered to windings in the stator (case) rather than the rotor . This simplifies mechanical design because power does not have to be delivered to the moving rotor, which eliminates the need for a commutator .

  3. Switched reluctance linear motor - Wikipedia

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

    The switched reluctance motor initially suffered from a lack of effective speed control. It was not until the 1970s, with the emergence of fast-switching electronics within variable speed drives (VSDs), that the synchronous reluctance motor was able to finally come into its own and reach performances comparable to that of conventional induction ...

  5. Direct torque control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_torque_control

    In the grid side converter DTC version the grid is considered to be a big electric machine. DTC techniques for the interior permanent magnet synchronous machine (IPMSM) were introduced in the late 1990s [16] and synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM) in the 2010s. [17] DTC was applied to doubly fed machine control in the early 2000s. [18]

  6. Linear motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_motor

    Free-body diagram of a U-channel synchronous linear motor. The view is perpendicular to the channel axis. The two coils at centre are mechanically connected, and are energized in "quadrature" (meaning a phase difference of 90° (π/2 radians) between the flux of the magnets and the flux of the coils). The bottom and upper coils in this ...

  7. Synchronous motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_motor

    Small synchronous motor with integral stepdown gear from a microwave oven. A synchronous electric motor is an AC electric motor in which, at steady state, [1] the rotation of the shaft is synchronized with the frequency of the supply current; the rotation period is exactly equal to an integer number of AC cycles.

  8. Induction generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_generator

    An induction generator produces electrical power when its rotor is turned faster than the synchronous speed. For a four-pole motor (two pairs of poles on stator) powered by a 60 Hz source, the synchronous speed is 1800 rotations per minute (rpm) and 1500 RPM powered at 50 Hz. The motor always turns slightly slower than the synchronous speed.

  9. Squirrel-cage rotor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squirrel-cage_rotor

    A synchronous motor may have a squirrel-cage winding embedded in its rotor, used to increase the motor starting torque and so decrease the time to accelerate to synchronous speed. The squirrel cage winding of a synchronous machine will generally be smaller than for an induction machine of similar rating.
