100

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

Left-hand Coil Rule

100

Mutual induction is the ability of an inductor (coil) in one circuit to __ a voltage in another circuit or conductor

Induce

100

A motor's starting Torque is also known as  this type of torque

Locked-rotor

100

A motor’s nameplate voltage rating is the ___ voltage that should be connected to the motor for best operating performance. 

Optimal

100

The motor part that usually shows proper wiring connections for the desired operation

Nameplate

200

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

Permeability

200

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

Electromagnetism

200

Motor power is rated in __ or __.

Horsepower or Watts

200

Motor nameplate electrical ratings include a voltage rating, current rating, frequency rating, and ___

Phase

200

An abbreviation that may not be used on a motor nameplate is __.

VA

300

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

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 a magnetic field through field windings is called a __. (similar to an AC motor)

Stator

300

On a motor nameplate "HZ" refers to what rating?

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 3 coils through this.

Magnetic Field

400

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


Shaft

400

Class __ is the best rated motor insulation code and should be used in any application in which a motor drive is used to operate the motor.

H

400

On a motor nameplate mechanical-design codes include NEMA design letter, enclosure type, type of motor bearing and this.

Frame Size

400

The bars of this motor are narrow and are placed deep in the iron, which increases the reactance and lowers the current, while maintaining normal starting torque.
