Name the motor which carries a single-phase exciting winding which is similar to the main winding of a single-phase induction motor that carries a distributed DC type winding. Correct Answer Repulsion motor
Repulsion motor carries a single-phase exciting winding which is similar to the main winding of a single-phase induction motor that carries a distributed DC type winding.
Concept:
- Repulsion Motor is a special kind of single-phase AC motor which works due to the repulsion of similar poles.
- The stator of this motor is supplied with a single-phase AC supply and the rotor circuit is shorted through a carbon brush.
Construction:
- The main components of the repulsion motor are stator, rotor and commutator brush assembly.
- The stator carries a single-phase exciting winding similar to the main winding of a single-phase induction motor.
- The rotor has distributed DC winding connected to the commutator at one end just like in the DC motor. The carbon brushes are short-circuited on themselves.

Working principle of Repulsion motor:
- When the stator winding of the repulsion motor is supplied with single-phase AC, it produces a magnetic flux along the direct axis as shown in the figure above by arrow mark.
- This magnetic flux when the link with the rotor winding, creates an emf. Due to this emf, a rotor current is produced.
- This rotor current in turn produces a magnetic flux that is directed along the brush axis due to commutator assembly.
- Due to the interaction of stator and rotor-produced fluxes, an electromagnetic torque is produced.

- In the above figure, the angle α between the stator-produced field and brush axis is 90°.
- This means the brush axis is in quadrature with the direct. Under this condition, there will not be any mutual induction between the stator and rotor windings.
- Therefore, no emf and hence no rotor current is produced. Thus no electromagnetic torque is developed.

- In this condition, a maximum emf is induced across the brushes. This is because the rotor and stator magnetic flux coincide and hence there is a perfect mutual coupling between them.
