MOTOR PARTS
This cylindrical part of a motor carries the rotor and transfers power to the load.
What is the shaft
This popular freshwater fish is known for its large mouth and is one of the most commonly targeted game fish in the United States.
What is a largemouth bass
This is the basic unit of electrical power
What is a watt
In football, six points are awarded for this
What is a touchdown
This is the type of current an AC alternator produces
What is alternating current
This part of a 3-phase motor converts electrical energy into the energy of a magnetic field.
What is the stator
Hunters often use this early-morning period because many animals are most active around dawn
What is first light OR SUNRISE
This type of torque is also called starting or breakaway torque.
What is locked-rotor torque
This baseball player stands behind home plate and catches pitches from the pitcher.
What is the catcher
In the United States and Canada, AC power normally operates at this frequency
What is 60 Hz
The stator core is made from these thin sheets of iron pressed together.
What are laminations
This fish is famous for its long body, sharp teeth, and reputation as a top freshwater predator.
What is a northern pike
This is the torque required to produce rated horsepower at full motor speed.
What is full-load torque
In basketball, this shot is worth three points when taken from behind the three-point line.
What is a three-pointer
A 4-pole motor operating at 60 Hz has a synchronous speed of this.
What is 1,800 RPM
This material is placed in the stator slots to keep the windings electrically separated from the core.
What is slot paper
When a hunter follows tracks, droppings, rubs, scrapes, or other evidence left by an animal, they're doing this.
What is tracking
This type of load requires more torque and horsepower as speed increases.
What is a variable-torque load
In hockey, this player is the only one on the ice allowed to use a glove to catch the puck.
What is the goaltender
This device tells you whether two AC sources are at the correct frequency and phase relationship to be connected together.
What is a synchroscope
This space between the stator and rotor gives the moving parts enough room to rotate.
What is the air gap
This freshwater fish is often called the "walleye" and is especially popular with anglers because of its excellent table fare.
What is a walleye
This is the maximum torque a motor can produce without stalling.
What is breakdown torque
In baseball, this is the only way a batter can hit for the cycle without getting at least one of each type of hit.
What is trick question — a cycle requires a single, double, triple, and home run
Using the formula S = 120 × f ÷ P, calculate the synchronous speed of a 6-pole, 60-Hz machine
What is 1,200 RPM
120 × 60 ÷ 6 = 1,200 RPM
