inertia load. External resistance gives the
motor a characteristic that results in a large drop in rpm for a fairly small change in load. Reduced speed is provided down to about 50%, rated speed, but efficiency is low.
Single-phase motors. These motors are commonly fractional-horsepower types, though integral sizes are generally available to 10 hp. The most common
single phase motor types are shaded pole, split
phase, capacitorstart, and permanent split
capacitor. Shaded pole motors have...
