A wound-rotor motor (Slip Ring Motor) is a type of induction motor where the rotor windings are connected through slip rings to external resistances. Adjusting the resistance allows control of the speed/torque characteristic of the motor. Wound-rotor motors can be started with low inrush current, by inserting high resistance into

MOTOR A motor is an extended version of a transformer. Here we can introduce the analogy between a transformer and a motor that is a motor is like a transformer with a moving secondary. The primary that is not moving is called stator and the secondary that is moving is
For voltages higher than about 300 to 500 kV, the cascading of transformers is a big advantage, as the weight of a whole testing set can be subdivided into single units and therefore transport and erection becomes easier. Also, with this, the transformer cost for a given voltage may be
