100
The rule that explains magnetic field direction around a coil using the left hand.

What is the Left-hand coil rule?

100

The ability of one coil to create voltage in another is called what?

Induce

100

A motor's starting Torque is also known as  this.

Locked-rotor torque

100

A motor's nameplate voltage rating is this type of voltage.

Optimal voltage


100

The motor part that usually shows proper wiring connections.

Nameplate

200
The ability of a material to conduct magnetic flux is called what?

What is Permeability?

200

In a motor, this force is used to convert Electrical energy into mechanical rotation

Electromagnetism

200

Motor power is rated in these two units

Horsepower or Watts

200

Motor nameplate electrical ratings include voltage, current, and frequency plus this factor.

Phase

200

This Torque allows a motor to overcome inertia and start turning.

Locked-rotor torque

300

Electromagnetism is considered this type of  magnetic force because it only exists when current flows.

What is Temporary?

300

This ring in a squirrel cage rotor provides a short circuit path for current

Shorting Ring

300

The fixed part of an alternator that supplies the magnetic field through windings

Stator

300
The rating abbreviated "HZ" on a motor nameplate.
Frequency
300

When two equal coils are in parallel, the total resistance is what fraction of one coil?

One Half

400

Three-phase AC power is generated by rotating coils through this.

Magnetic Field

400

A motor's rotor is mounted on this, which transfers power to the load.

Shaft

400

The insulation class with the best heat tolerance for drives

Class H

400

The mechanical design info includes NEMA letter, enclosure, bearings and this.

Frame size

400

Motor power is most often rated in this unit in the U.S. and another globally.
