Option 2 : It is quick reversible motor
- A single-phase AC motor with transformer-action coupling between the windings of the stator and rotor
- The stator is of a non-salient pole design and has two series-connected windings, whose axes form a 90° angle
- The rotor is similar in design to the armature of a DC machine
- The commutator brushes are short-circuited, and the brush holder can be turned with respect to the axis of the motor
- If the brush axis is aligned with the axis of one of the stator windings, a current is induced in the rotor winding, as in the secondary winding of a transformer
- This current interacts with the magnetic flux of the second stator winding and creates a torque that causes the rotor to rotate
- By shifting the brushes around the commutator, the torque can be varied from zero to a maximum value
- Thus, different settings of the brushes are used in starting the motor, controlling the rotational speed, and reversing the motor
- The advantage of repulsion motors is that the rotational speed can be varied within wide limits without the use of auxiliary apparatus
- The motors have the disadvantage of being complicated in structure
- Repulsion motors are used in low-power variable-speed single-phase AC drives
