Course description
In Induction and Synchronous Motor Fundamentals , you'll learn ...
- Synchronous and induction motor principles of construction and operation
- Relative merits of induction vs. synchronous motors, as well as typical applications
- Synchronous motor types, including brush excitation and brushless excitation
- Synchronous motor starting methods
Overview
Credit: 1 PDH
Length: 10 pages
The two most common motor classes are synchronous and induction motors. Synchronous motors are more efficient than induction motors, but are more expensive and complicated and typically have a shorter life span. This course covers fundamentals of these motor classes and is geared towards engineers of all disciplines who are responsible for sizing, specifying, selecting, or purchasing electric motors.
