resistance thermal detectors (RTD)

Electrical equipment; Motors

A resistance device used to measure temperature change in the motor windings to detect a possible over heating condition. These detectors would be embedded into the winding slot ...

bearing rtd

Electrical equipment; Motors

A probe used to measure bearing temperature to detect an overheating condition. The RTD's resistance varies with the temperature of the bearings.

reactance (inductive)

Electrical equipment; Motors

power code

Electrical equipment; Motors

Identifies the type of power supply providing power to a DC motor. Frequency, voltage, and type of rectifier configuration.

power factor

Electrical equipment; Motors

A measurement of the time phase difference between the voltage and current in an AC circuit. It is represented by the cosine of the angle of this phase difference. For an angle of ...
