Chapter 16 Answers

A-C MOTORS

1. The series-universal motor.

2. South.

3. No. A.C. coils reverse polarity with every re verse of current.

4. More than one time.

5. In electrical degrees.

6. Out-of-time.

7. No.

8. Only the flux field produced by the stator windings.

9. No.

10. A voltage is induced in the squirrel cage rotor. This voltage forces current through the windings. Always a short circuit.

12. No.

13. By induction-exactly like the squirrel cage.

14. With d.c. from an exciter, fed to the rotor via slip rings.

15. The field between rotor and stator poles of a synchronous motor.

16. Series-universal, repulsion-induction, and split phase.

17. Resistance and a condenser.
