where brand loyalty is only as strong as the latest gizmo and horsepower upgrade. The automotive assembly process‚ perfected by Henry Ford‚ was based on the simple principle that "customers can order a Model T in any color they wanted as long as it was black." After the 1920 ’s the market witnessed new entrants with unheard of automobile features that ended Ford ’s golden age. New automakers such as Buick‚ Chrysler‚ and Oldsmobile offered customers varying colors and styles that propelled sales

Chapter (11) Synchronous Motors Introduction It may be recalled that a d.c. generator can be run as a d.c. motor. In like manner‚ an alternator may operate as a motor by connecting its armature winding to a 3-phase supply. It is then called a synchronous motor. As the name implies‚ a synchronous motor runs at synchronous speed (Ns = 120f/P) i.e.‚ in synchronism with the revolving field produced by the 3-phase supply. The speed of rotation is‚ therefore‚ tied to the frequency of the source. Since

A DC motor is a mechanically commutated electric motor powered from direct current (DC). The stator is stationary in space by definition and therefore so is its current. The current in the rotor is switched by the commutator to also be stationary in space. This is how the relative angle between the stator and rotor magnetic flux is maintained near 90 degrees‚ which generates the maximum torque. DC motors have a rotating armature winding but non-rotating armature magnetic field and a static field

GROUP 4 JULY 26‚ 2013 EE 4101 ENGR. KENNETH F. FAJILAN Reluctance Motor Introduction A reluctance motor is a type of electric motor that induces non-permanent magnetic poles on the ferromagnetic rotor. Torque is generated through the phenomenon of magnetic reluctance. There are various types of reluctance motor: Synchronous reluctance Synchronous reluctance motors have an equal number of stator and rotor poles. The projections on the rotor are arranged to introduce internal flux “barriers“
