Repulsion Motor AC
A repulsion motor is a type of electric motor for use on alternating current (AC). It was formerly used as a traction motor for electric trains but has been superseded by other types of motors and is now only of historical interest.
Repulsion motors are classified under single phase motors. In repulsion motors the stator windings are connected directly to the AC power supply and the rotor is connected to a commutator and brush assembly, similar to that of a direct current (DC) motor.
The motor has a stator and a rotor but there is no electrical connection between the two and the rotor current is generated by induction.
Repulsion Motor Part
The rotor winding is connected to a commutator which is in contact with a pair of short-circuited brushes which can be moved to change their angular position relative to an imaginary line drawn through the axis of the stator. The motor can be started, stopped and reversed, and the speed can be varied, simply by changing the angular position of the brushes.
