Most [note 1] DC field coils generate a constant, static field. Most three-phase AC field coils are used to generate a rotating field as part of an electric motor. Single-phase AC motors may follow either of these patterns: Small motors are usually universal motors, like the brushed DC motor with a commutator, but run from AC.
A compensation winding in a DC shunt motor is a winding in the field pole face plate that carries armature current to reduce stator field distortion.Its purpose is to reduce brush arcing and erosion in DC motors that are operated with weak fields, variable heavy loads or reversing operation such as steel-mill motors.
A DC motor is an electrical motor that uses direct current (DC) to produce mechanical force. The most common types rely on magnetic forces produced by currents in the coils. Nearly all types of DC motors have some internal mechanism, either electromechanical or electronic, to periodically change the direction of current in part of the motor.
A typical damper winding consists of short-circuit bars that in the machines with cylindrical rotors share the slots with the field windings, and in the case of salient pole rotors are located in the dedicated slots on the surfaces of pole shoes. There are no bars in the quadrature axis area of the salient pole machines. The bars are terminated ...
Bipolar toy motor of 1948. Note the three-pole rotor with a bipolar field. A bipolar electric motor is an electric motor with only two (hence bi-) poles to its stationary field. [1] They are an example of the simple brushed DC motor, with a commutator. This field may be generated by either a permanent magnet or a field coil.

Notice the concentrated windings on the stator poles. 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.
The truck of a SEPTA Kawasaki light rail vehicle showing the track brake magnets between the wheels.. A magnetic track brake (Mg brake) is a brake for rail vehicles.It consists of brake magnets, pole shoes, a suspension, a power transmission and, in the case of mainline railroads, a track rod.
