  2. Synchronous motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_motor

    A permanent magnet synchronous motor and reluctance motor requires a control system for operating (VFD or servo drive). There is a large number of control methods for synchronous machines, selected depending on the construction of the electric motor and the scope. Control methods can be divided into: [21] [22] Scalar control. V/f control ...

  3. Korndörfer autotransformer starter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korndörfer_Autotransformer...

    Reduced starting current is desirable where the electrical grid is not of sufficient capacity, or where the driven load cannot withstand high starting torque. One basic method to reduce the starting current is with a reduced voltage autotransformer with taps at 50%, 65% and 80% of the applied line voltage; once the motor is started the ...

  4. Damper winding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damper_winding

    It is used to dampen the transient oscillations and facilitate the start-up operation. [ 2 ] Since the design of a damper winding is similar to that of a asynchronous motor , the winding technically enables the direct-on-line start and can even be used for the motor operation in the asynchronous mode.

  5. Induction motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_motor

    Self-starting polyphase induction motors produce torque even at standstill. Available squirrel-cage induction motor starting methods include direct-on-line starting, reduced-voltage reactor or auto-transformer starting, star-delta starting or, increasingly, new solid-state soft assemblies and, of course, variable frequency drives (VFDs). [39]

  6. Electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor

    An industrial electric motor . An electric motor is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied on the motor's shaft.

  7. Launched roller coaster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Launched_roller_coaster

    The launched roller coaster is a type of roller coaster that initiates a ride with high amounts of acceleration via one or a series of linear induction motors (LIM), linear synchronous motors (LSM), catapults, tires, chains, or other mechanisms employing hydraulic or pneumatic power, along a launch track. This mode of acceleration powers many ...

  8. Talk:Synchronous motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Synchronous_motor

    ==Starting methods== Small synchronous motors are able to start without assistance due to the low mass of the rotor, and the low starting current needed to rapidly accelerate the rotor to full speed from a dead stop. Synchronous motors are commonly used in line-powered electric mechanical clocks that use the powerline frequency to run the gear ...

  9. 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 ...
