Record 2 2014-09-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Stators and Rotors (Electrical Components)
  • Electric Rotary Machines
DEF

The process of starting a wound rotor induction motor or synchronous induction motor by connecting the rotor winding initially in series with starting resistors which are short-circuited for the running condition.

OBS

rotor resistance starting: term and definition standardized by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) in 1996.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Stators et rotors (Composants électrotechniques)
  • Machines tournantes électriques
DEF

Mode de démarrage d'un moteur à induction à rotor bobiné ou d'un moteur asynchrone synchronisé, consistant à coupler initialement l'enroulement rotorique en série avec des résistances de démarrage qui sont mises hors circuit pour le fonctionnement normal.

OBS

démarrage par résistance rotorique : terme et définition normalisés par la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en 1996.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Estatores y rotores (Componentes eléctricos)
  • Máquinas rotativas eléctricas
DEF

Modo de arranque de un motor de inducción de rotor bobinado o de un motor asíncrono sincronizado, consistente en conectar inicialmente el devanado del rotor en serie con resistencias de arranque que se ponen en cortocircuito para el funcionamiento normal.

Record 3 2010-04-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electric Motors
CONT

Direct-current axial air gap motors are often referred to as disc motors and there are basically two types. The first and most common type is the printed-circuit motor.... The second is the wound-rotor type disc motor; Fig. 10. 11 shows a typical cross-section of such a motor.

OBS

for "disc wound motor" : In the disc wound motor, the armature coils are wound into a flat disc, which is stiffened by reinforcing it with a thermosetting epoxy resin. The rotor coils are wound on to a frame to the correct number of turns, the frame is then removed, and the coils hot pressed form a disc.

Key term(s)
  • wound-rotor type disk motor
  • wound-rotor disk motor
  • d.c. wound-rotor disk motor
  • disk wound motor

Record 5 1982-11-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electric Motors
CONT

The d. c. permanent magnet motor has a conventional wound armature, and a commutator, on the rotor, with the field on the stator supplied by either Alnico or ceramic permanent magnets.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Moteurs électriques
OBS

Moteur à aimants permanents, type MC2. On distingue (fig.5) les aimants en ferrites ou encore en céramiques qui ont une induction rémanente utile (...) et les aimants fer-aluminium-nickel-cobalt (appelés Ticonal ou Alnico) qui ont, au contraire, une forte induction rémanente utile (...) mais un champ coercitif plus faible (...).
