Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng / general | | Spanish term or phrase: Máquinas eléctricas rotativas | SP SP > UK EN
can someone please confirm that this is a "electromagnetic rotor machine" (which I have deduced from a quick look in Wikipedia.....
TIA
(It's part of a list and I don't think context is really useful nor relevant in this case...) |
| | | electrical rotating machines | Explanation:
In practice it almost certainly is an electromagnetic motor, but I think it would be wisest to use this term, which is the one recommended by the International Electrotechnical Commission:
"en- (electrical) rotating machine
an electrical apparatus depending on electromagnetic induction for its operation and having components capable of relative rotary movement and intended for converting energy
NOTE – This term also applies to electrical apparatus operating on the same principle and similar in construction and intended for other purposes, e.g. regulation, supplying or absorbing reactive power. It is not intended to cover electrostatic machines.
es- máquina rotativa (eléctrica)"

There are plenty of references to "electrical rotating machines"; it's a standard term:
"The performance of an electrical rotating machine is defined by many material, component and design parameters."

Sorry, I meant "electromagnetic rotor", not "motor", in line 1.
