Polyphase motors are simple to construct, are self-starting and have little vibration compared with single-phase motors. Once polyphase power is available, it may be converted to any desired …

It was this concept of a rotating magnetic field that inspired Nikola Tesla to design the world’s first polyphase electrical systems (simply to make simpler, more efficient motors).

In specifying the speed of the motor on the nameplate, most motor manufacturers use the actual speed of the motor at rated load which will, of course, be somewhat lower than the …

“Polyphase” means “many phases,” describing a form of AC electrical system where multiple sinusoidal voltages exist that are not in step with each other. The most common form of …

With polyphase motors, the necessary phase shifts are there already. Plus, the direction of shaft rotation for polyphase motors is very easily reversed: just swap any two “hot” wires going to …

Polyphase motors don't need such measures; their direction of rotation is fixed by the phase sequence of the voltage they're powered by. Swapping any two “hot” wires on a polyphase AC …

Polyphase brushless permanent magnet motors are becoming more popular for use in modern electric and hybrid/electric vehicles than the magnetless and single-phase varieties because …

It was this concept of a rotating magnetic field that inspired Nikola Tesla to design the world’s first polyphase electrical systems (simply to make simpler, more efficient motors). The line current …

The polyphase induction motor is the most commonly used industrial motor, finding application in many situations where speed regulation is not essential. It is simple and relatively inexpensive, …
