What is difference between single motor unit and multi motor unit?

There is no 'multi motor unit' to be different from a single motor unit!A single motor unit is all the muscle fibers controlled by a single motor neuron.Multiple motor unit summation is when a smooth and steady increase in muscle tension is produced by increasing the number of active single motor units.Notice that what's being described is not something having to do with a some non-existent thing called a 'multi motor unit', but rather is a summation of many active singlemotor units.


How reactive power drives active power?

reactive power depends on motor winding losses and the reason for increasing of temperature. At running condition the motor power reduces by copper loss.


What is the effect of increasing number of poles on the speed of an induction motor?

As the number of poles (P) increases, the speed of an induction motor (N) decreases. As seen by the formula: N=(120*f)/P


What are motor proteins active in?

microtubules


How can you increase the torque of an electric motor without increasing the speed?

keep the same winding configuration or number of poles increase the diameter of the rotor and stator


What is the effect of increasing the length of the air gap in an induction motor?

The magnetic flux that couples the rotor to the stator will weaken significantly reducing the motor's torque.


Use of a turbo in a car?

To increase power of the motor, by increasing airflow thru the motor(higher volumetric effiecency) when needed.


If you increase or decrease the frequency what effect on electrical machin?

If you're talking about an electric motor, increasing the frequency will increase the speed of rotation of the motor, and decreasing the frequency will decrease the speed of rotation of the motor. The other way of controlling a motor is to control the current; increasing the current increases speed, decreasing current decreases speed.


How do you build an electric motor with over 2000 RPM?

an electric motor can be build with over 2000 rpm,by increasing the supply frequency.


What does a negative active power means?

Let see an example. The active power absorbed by an AC motor is used to produce mechanical power delivered on the output shaft. If the mechanical power is negative (the motor is pushed to work as a brake) the active power 'absorbed' is also negative. The motor converts the mechanical power in active electrical power delivered in the electrical network. Any AC generator is supplied with negative active power, or it deliver to the network positive active power.


How speed of a squirrel cage induction motor can be varied?

There are two ways of changing the speed of AC motors,by altering the frequency or the number of poles in the motor. An increase in frequency of the supply voltage to the motor will cause it's speed to increase while reducing the frequency will causes the motor speed to drop. This is the method exploited by Variable Speed/Frequency Drive. The second method of changing the number of motor's stator poles is the difficult. The manufacture must design the motor such that the number of the motor's pole in operation can be increased or reduced. Increasing the number of poles increases the stator flux density which decreases the speed. Decreasing the number of poles does the opposite. This method is typically found in two speed motors and it's rarely used compared to VSDs.
