UA Electricity 2 Mid Term Review

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Motor   A device which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.  
🗑
Generator   A device which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.  
🗑
Principle of Operation   Operation is based upon magnetism. The motor revolves because of rotating magnetic fields.  
🗑
Basic Parts of a Motor   Stator – Solid electrical housing protecting the windings (in the inner circumference) used to create a rotating magnetic field. Rotor - The part that rotates Shaft and bearings - Supports the system.  
🗑
Split Phase motor has two (2) electrical windings   Start winding: Wound with a fine wire size and has a higher resistance as compared to the Run winding Run winding Wound with larger wire and has less resistance than the Start winding.  
🗑
Basic Types of Motors   Simple split phase motor (No capacitors used) Permanent split phase motor- PSC (Run Capacitor Constantly in circuit) ) Capacitor start - capacitor run (Start cap only used at start, Run cap is continuous during operation  
🗑
Basic Types of Motors   Shaded pole motor (Only one winding, No capacitor) ) Three (3) phase motor (No Capacitors used what-so-ever)  
🗑
Definition of Torque   It is the ability or force applied which is needed to get the motor shaft to rotating. Better Known as: “Rotational Energy”  
🗑
Characteristics of a Split Phase Motor   Low torque starting ability Motor has two windings - Start & Run Application is fractional hp up to 5hp.  
🗑
Permanent Split Capacitor Motor   It has a hp rating of fractional up to 5hp.  
🗑
Capacitor Start-Capacitor Run Motor   *Motor uses a start capacitor to improve starting ability ( increase torque) *and a run capacitor to improve running ability(decrease drag).  
🗑
Three Phase Motor   Motor has very high starting torque. Motor does not require starting relays or capacitors. Hp. rating is from fractional up to 1000’s of hp.  
🗑
