Hi Mike, N6IMF
Apologise..........My previous message was wrong !
This one is correct.
The EL and the AZ motors of a G5500 rotator are squarrel cage AC
asynchronous motors.
The stator is wound with 4 crossed coils.
A couple of 2 opposite coils is the pole North-South called P
P = 1 because every 2 coils represents one pole P and it is used to
run the motor.
The other couple of 2 opposite coils is used with a capacitor
in series only to generate a current 90 degrees out of phase to
start the motor.
The RPM (revolutions per minute) of a asynchronous motor is given by the
following formula:
f x 60
RPM = ------------- - S
P
where:
f = value of the frequency in Hz of the supply AC power
60 = 60 seconds into a minute
P = number of pole expansions of the motor
S = speed of gliding ( 7 % for small motors )
If you supply the motor with 24 volt 60 Hz as in USA than
60 x 60
RPM = -------------- = 3600 - 7% = 3348
1
When you run this motor in Europe with 50 Hz AC than the
speed is reduced to 2790 RPM
