9780267641246: Study of a Single-Phase Variable Speed Shunt Induction Motor (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

Explore how a single‑phase shunt induction motor can be controlled for steady speed without bulky gear trains. This book ties theory to practical speed‑control methods that engineers use in real machines.

This study analyzes how speed in a single‑phase induction motor is generated and varied. It explains the role of the speed field, the transformer analogy, and how different circuit elements affect torque and running speed. The text also covers several practical methods to adjust speed, supported by diagrams and experimental findings.

  • Foundations: how the speed field and counter EMF interact to set motor speed
  • Methods of speed variation: inductance in the X circuit, capacitors, and coils that oppose or strengthen the speed field
  • Practical outcomes: what changes in circuit configuration do to speed and torque
  • Analogies and modeling: viewing the motor behavior through transformer principles and vector concepts
Ideal for readers interested in motor theory, electrical engineering students, and professionals exploring practical speed control of induction machines.
