to apply polyphase motors in preference to single phase motors. A typical 5 hp, 1200 rpm capacitor start-induction run single phase motor, for in stance, will cost approximately twice as much as the corresponding three phase Design B squirrel-cage motor. In addition, the polyphase motor has the advantages of higher power factor and higher efficiency.
Polyphase Motors
The three types of polyphase motors are: squirrel-cage induction motors, wound rotor induction motors, and synchronous motors.
Squirrel-cage motors are specified by NEMA standards providing a variety of speed and torque characteristics. Design A motors provide normal starting torque at starting current in excess of Design B motors, and are suitable for constant speed application to equipment such as fans and blowers. Design B motors provide normal starting torque with NEMA starting current values shown in Table 6, which are acceptable by many power companies for full voltage starting. They are used for the same type of application as Design A. Design C motors provide high starting

torque with starting current same as Design B, and are used on compressors started without unloaders, and on reciprocating pumps. Design D motors have high slip* and are used with flywheels for widely pulsating loads on equipment such as reciprocating compressors and pumps, where other motors would draw high peak currents.
Figs. 5, 6, 7, and 8 illustrate the characteristics of squirrel-cage motors. It will be noticed by inspection of Fig. 6 that both power factor and effi ciency are improved if the motors are operating as near rated load as pos sible. In addition, as shown in Fig. 8, power factor and efficiency are better for higher speed motors.
Typical specifications for squirrel-cage motors are shown in Specification C at end of chapter.
