Armature resistance is measured in ohms at 25f C. (cold.)
Industry:Electrical equipment
A term commonly used to describe the stationary (Stator) member of a DC Motor. The field provides the magnetic field with which the mechanically rotating (Armature or Rotor) member interacts.
Industry:Electrical equipment
A cylindrical device mounted on the armature shaft and consisting of a number of wedge-shaped copper segments arranged around the shaft (insulated from it and each other. The motor brushes ride on the periphery of the commutator and electrically connect and switch the armature coils to the power source.
Industry:Electrical equipment
One cycle per second (as in 60 Hz. which is 60 cycles per second).
Industry:Electrical equipment
Refers to loads whose H.P. requirements change linearly with changing speeds. Horsepower varies with the speed, i.e.- 2/1 HP at 1800/900 RPM. (Seen on some 2-speed motors). Possible applications include conveyors, some crushers, or constant-displacement pumps.

In most instances, the following information will help identify a motor:
1. Frame designation (actual frame size in which the motor is built).
2. Horsepower, speed, design and enclosure.
3. Voltage, frequency and number of phases of power supply.
4. Class of insulation and time rating.
5. Application
Industry:Electrical equipment
The characteristic of an electric circuit by which varying current in it produces a varying magnetic field which causes voltages in the same circuit or in a nearby circuit.
Industry:Electrical equipment
An induction motor is an alternating current motor in which the primary winding on one member (usually the stator) is connected to the power source and a secondary winding or a squirrel-cage secondary winding on the other member (usually the rotor) carries the induced current. There is no physical electrical connection to the secondary winding, its current is induced.
Industry:Electrical equipment
A material which tends to resist the flow of electric current (paper, glass, etc.) In a motor the insulation serves two basic functions:
1. Separates the various electrical components from one another.
2. It protects itself and the electrical components from attack of contaminants and other destructive forces.
Industry:Electrical equipment
Five specialized elements are used, which together constitute the motor's INSULATION SYSTEM. The following are typical in an AC motor:
1. TURN-TO-TURN INSULATION between separate wires in each coil. (Usually enamel on random wound coils of smaller motors - tape on "form wound" coils of larger motors.
2. PHASE-TO-PHASE INSULATION between adjacent coils in different phase groups. (A separate sheet material on smaller motors - not required on form wound coils because the tape also performs this function.
3. PHASE-TO-GROUND INSULATION between windings as a whole and the "ground" or metal part of the motor. (A sheet material, such as the liner used in stator slots, provides both di-electric and mechanical protection.
4. SLOT WEDGE to hold conductors firmly in the slot.
5. IMPREGNATION to bind all the other components together and fill in the air spaces. (A total impregnation, applied in a fluid form and hardened, provides protection against contaminants.
