Four Phase Stepper Motor

Four Phase Stepper Motor: Four Phase Stepper Motor – The stepper motor is a special type of synchronous motor which is designed to rotate through a specific angle (called a step) for each electrical pulse received by its control unit. Typical step sizes are 7.5°, 15° or larger. The stepper motor is used in digitally […]

Two phase AC Servo Motor

Two phase AC Servo Motor: For a low-power (a few hundred watts) control application, a balanced Two phase AC Servo Motor is ideally suited as it can be driven by means of a relatively rugged (drift-free) ac amplifier. The motor torque can be easily controlled by varying the magnitude of the ac voltage applied to

Types of Single Phase Synchronous Motor

Types of Single Phase Synchronous Motor: There are two types of single phase synchronous motor, namely, Reluctance Motor Hysteresis Motor Construction of Reluctance Motor and Torque Speed Characteristics: The reluctance motor, in general, results wherever the stator produces a rotating field in space and the rotor is noncylindrical such that the reluctance of the magnetic

Shaded Pole Motor Working Principle

Shaded Pole Motor Working Principle: Figure 10.17 shows a typical Shaded Pole Motor with a squirrel-cage rotor. A small portion of each pole is covered with a short-circuited, single-turn copper coil called the shading coil. The sinusoidally-varying flux created by ac (single-phase) excitation of the main winding induces emf in the shading coil. As a

Split Phase Motor

Split Phase Motor: When a motor is provided with two windings, even though these are excited from the same voltage (supply being single-phase), the currents in the two windings can be made out-of-phase by adjustment of the impedance of the auxiliary winding in relation to the main winding. As a result F̅m and F̅a constitute an unbalanced

Single Phase Two Winding Motor

Single Phase Two Winding Motor: Single Phase Two Winding Motor – To understand the field phenomenon that contributes towards the generation of starting torque in a single-phase motor, it greatly helps to first study a balanced 2-phase motor. Figure 10.10 shows a 2-winding squirrel-cage motor whose stator winding axes are in relative space phase of

Single Phase Induction Motor

Single Phase Induction Motor: A Single Phase Induction Motor comprises a single-phase distributed winding on the stator and normal squirrel-cage rotor as shown schematically in Fig. 10.1 wherein for convenience the stator winding is shown in concentrated form. There are two important methods of analyzing this motor, namely Cross-field theory and Rotating field theory. As
