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 shirt 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.
