Figure 1: Interpoles. Interpoles are small poles placed in between the main poles of a D.C generator as shown in figure (1). Interpoles are also known as commutating poles or com poles. In generators, the polarity of the inter pole is same as the main pole which is ahead of it in the direction of […]

Figure 1: Compensating Winding. Compensating winding is an extra winding placed in the slots of pole shoes of field winding as shown in figure 1. The armature and compensating winding both are connected in series. In any pole shoe the direction of current in compensating winding is opposite to the direction of current flow through

A three phase induction motor is an AC motor consisting of a three-phase winding and are used for applications like exhaust fans, lathes, etc.
When the slip of induction motor is negative i.e. , when the induction motor runs at a speed greater than synchronous speed, the induction motor runs as a generator called induction generator. Working of Induction Generator When a 3-ϕ induction motor is given A.C supply and is mechanically coupled to a prime mover then it

A double cage rotor induction motor gives excellent starting and running characteristics than a deep-bar cage rotor induction motor. It also provides a high starting torque with a low starting current. Therefore it is also known as low-starting current, high starting torque, low slip-motor. The rotor is well designed in order to have high resistance
