ET3280 Unit 6 Homework Part 4 Terrill Mcclain Research the following motors and list typical applications for each onein a Word doc. Also list their typical HP rating, voltage, and full load current when possible. Split Phase Motor - The split-phase induction motor commonly used in major appliances suchas air conditioners and clothesdryers.Their main advantage is low cost. Their disadvantages are low starting torque and high starting current. These disadvantages generally limit split phase motors to applications where the load needs only low starting torque and starts are infrequent(Application). Compared to the shaded pole motor, these motors can generally provide much greater starting torque. A split-phase motor has a startup winding…show more content…
Typical HP Rating - ratings range from 1/50 to 1/3 HP Voltage - 115V / 208V - 230V Full Load Current - 100 to 175 percent of rated load. ______________________________________________________________________ Two-Value Capacitor - The two value capacitor motor is utilized in large horsepower (5-15 HP) single phase motors. The running winding is energized directly from the second winding and serves as a combined starting and running winding. The winding is energized through two parallel capacitors. Once the motor has started, a switch disconnects one of the capacitors letting the motor operate with the remaining capacitor in series with the second winding of the motor. The two-value capacitor motor starts as a capacitor start motor but runs as a form of a two phase or PSC motor. Using this combination, it is possible to build large single phase motors having high starting torques and moderate starting currents at reasonable prices.The two value capacitor motor frequently uses an oversize conduit box to house both the starting and running capacitors. (Application
