Which motor doesn't have any winding on its rotor?

Squirrel cage induction motors.


Do all single phase motors have a start and run winding?

No, commutator motors as used in vaccum cleaners for example do not use a starting winding. Single-phase induction motors need a starting winding without which they will start in either direction if given an initial twist.


What starting device is used on single phase fractional horsepower compressor motors?

A centrifugal switch is used on the starting winding of fractional HP motors. It is used to start the motor one the start winding and at a predesignated rotational speed the switch opens to de-energize the start winding and the motor carries on running on the run winding. Another device that should be on compressor motors is an unloader valve. Sometimes it is electrical driven and other times it is mechanical. It is used to used to unload the pressure from the compression cylinders. Without this pressure being unloaded the motor has to start against the pressure in the cylinder head and the added current draw on the motor is sometimes enough to trip the overload protection of the motor.


What is the use of centrifugal switch in single phase induction motors do all single phase motors gave them?

To stop a three-phase motor dead ('plugging'), rather than allowing it to slow to a stop, the motor controller interchanges two of the three lines -which applies a reverse torque to the machine. But before the motor then gets a chance to reverse direction, the centrifugal switch trips the starter and removes the supply. <<>> The centrifugal switch that you refer to and can see in an open frame motor, is used to open the start winding of small HP single phase motors. Once the motor gets up to a certain RPM, the switch opens and the motor continues to operate on its run winding. When the motor stops, the switch goes back to its normally closed position in the start winding and awaits the next start operation.


Definition of a resistance-start induction run motor?

Resistance start-induction run motors are commonly known as split phase. They are only single phase motors. They have 2 sets of windings, the Start winding which is high resistance and low inductance made for thin wire, and the Run winding which is low resistance and high inductance made for thick wire. The 2 windings are set skewed about 30 degrees on a twist. This is to create the angular rotary motion, which is what a motor is all about. On start up both start and run windings are energised. Some form of switch disconnects the start winding when the motor is about 75% up to speed, and only the run winding remains in the circuit. There you have it.....

Will a induction motor run on one winding once it has been started?

A single-phase induction motor has a main winding and a starting winding. When the motor has run up to normal speed the starting winding can be switched out, but for small motors this is not usually worth the trouble.

Chorded windings are used in induction motors because?

Its the simplest way to reduce the harmonic induction torque(i.e. by weakening the stator winding mmf harmonics)

Do induction motors work on the transformer principle?

Didn't work.because primary and secondary winding not in motorAnswerYes. The rotor behaves as a rotating secondary winding -i.e. there is no electrical connection between the field windings and the rotor.


What are the advantages of open end winding induction motor over conventional induction motor?

Open ended induction motor - i assume you are talking about split phase induction motor. With these motors old style speed controlling method using external resistors can be used. However this is now obsolete.


What is the difference between a field winding and an armature winding in any machine?

simply saying u that field winding is a winding present at the stator of the motor and is used to produce the magnetic field and the armature winding is the winding present in the rotor and is used to rotate the shaft of the motor. there are some machines with permanent magnets, those permanent magnets are used as the major source of magnetic flux in the machine instead of the field winding .
