Capacitor-start induction run motora type of single phase induction motor that has a capacitor in series with the starting winding only during the startingoperation. This type of motor has high loked rotor otorque with low amp draw, high breakdowntorques used on hard starting applications such as compressors, positive displacement pumps, conveyors, etc.
Capacitor-start Capacitor run motorPerformance and applications are similar to capacitor start induction run, the capacitor run enables operation at lower current damend and improved efficiency. Used on larger single-phase HP ratings.
Permanant-split capicitor motorSingle phase inductionmotor which has a capacitor continuously in the auxiliary winding unlike the split phase or capacitor start type motors there is no centrifugal switch to disconnect the auxilliary winding. this type of motor has low starting torque and is best suited for direct drive applications such as fans, blowers, etc. PSC motors are much more efficient than shaded pole.
Rotating field speedthe speed of a rotating magnetic field
Resistance start induction run motora split-phase induction motor with a starter inserted in series with the startup winding, creating capacitance
split phase motorthe most common type of single phase induction motor. Equipped with a starting winding displaced in magnetic positon from, and connected in parallel with the main winding. Generally, the motor has low to moderate locked rotor torque with high locked rotor amps, high breakdown torques, and is used on belt drive blowers, fans, pumps, etc.
start windingstarting torque — the torque or twisting force delivered by a motoro at the
Magnetic fluxis a measure of quantity of magnetism, taking into account the strength and the extent of a magnetic field.
Shading coila part of a shaded pole motor; it's a copy coild that provides the necessary displacement for starting
Consequent pole motora motor that has a winding for every two speeds (three speed motors has two windings).
Interlockingto connect so that the motion or operation of any part is constrained by another
slip ringone of two or more continuous conducting rings from which the brushes take or to which they deliver current in a generator or motor
Isolation transformertransformer used to reduce or eliminate electrical noise by modifying the amount of voltage or current on the line.
Step up transformerTransformer in which the output AC voltage is greater than the input AC voltage.
Step down transformerA type of transformer used for welding power sources that converts high-voltage, low-amperage industrial power to low-voltage, high-amperage power.
Volts per turncommonly used for large transformers; developing voltage corresponding to the number of turns of the motor.
Statora component in a motor that contains the windings: it does not turn.
Bearinga device that urrounds a rotating shaft and prvides a low-friction contact surface to reduce wear from the rotating shaft.
Bushingan electrically insulating lining for a hole to protect a through conductor

Calorieheat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 C, actually from 4 C to 5 C. Mean calorie = 1/100 part of the heat required to raise 1 gram of water from 0 to 100 C.
CondenserThe component in a refrigeration system that transfers heat from the system by condensing refrigerant.
N.E.M.A.National Electrical Manufacturers' Association. This organization sets electrical and mechanical standards for electric motors
RotorThe rotating part of most alternating current motors
Couplinga means of electric connection of two electric circuits by having a part common to both
