II. Polyphase Induction Motor 1. INTRODUCTION 135. The typical induction motor is the polyphase motor. By gradual development from the direct-current shunt motor we arrive at the polyphase induction motor. The magnetic field of any induction motor, whether supplied by polyphase, monocyclic, or single-phase e.m.f., is at normal condition of operation, that is, near synchronism, a polyphase field. Thus to a certain extent all induction motors can be called polyphase machines. When supplied with a polyphase system of e.m.fs. the internal reactions of the induction motor are simplest and only those of a transformer with moving second- ary, while in the single-phase induction motor at the same time a phase transformation occurs, the second or magnetizing phase being produced from the impressed phase of e.m.f. by the rota- tion of the motor, which carries the

In the polyphase induction motor, Let Y = g — jb = primary exciting admittance, or admit- tance of the primary circuit with open secondary circuit; that is, ge = magnetic power current, be = wattless magnetizing current, where e = counter-generated e.m.f. of the motor; ZQ = r0 + jxQ = primary self -inductive imped ...

We then have 1 — s = speed of the motor secondary as fraction of syn- chronous speed, sf = frequency of the secondary currents, where / = frequency impressed upon the primary; 1 The self -inductive reactance refers to that flux which surrounds one of the electric circuits only, without being interlinked with the other circuits. 312 EL ...

  • Impedance / reactance: Translate historical opposition terms into modern impedance, admittance, conductance, susceptance, and complex-plane notation.
  • Magnetism: Track flux, reluctance, permeability, magnetizing force, and loss language against modern magnetic-circuit terminology.
  • Complex quantities: Track how Steinmetz preserves geometric rotation and quadrature while translating the same operation into symbolic form.
  • Radiation / light: Compare the chapter’s radiation vocabulary with modern electromagnetic radiation, spectral frequency, wavelength, absorption, and illumination engineering.
  • Dielectricity / capacity: Check whether the passage treats capacity, condensers, displacement, or dielectric stress as field storage rather than only circuit algebra.
  • Magnetism: Centrifugal/divergent magnetic-field readings are interpretive overlays, not automatic historical claims.
  • Radiation / light: Radiation and wave language can invite ether-field comparison, but source wording, modern radiation theory, and speculative synthesis must stay separated.
  • Dielectricity / capacity: A Wheeler-style reading may emphasize dielectric compression, field stress, and stored potential, but this page treats that as interpretation unless Steinmetz explicitly says it.
  1. Open the full source text and the scan or raw PDF.
  2. Verify the chapter boundary and surrounding context.
  3. Promote exact quotations only after checking the source image.
  4. Move mathematical candidates into canonical equation pages only after formula typography is corrected.
  5. Move diagram candidates into the diagram archive only after image extraction, crop verification, and manifest creation.
  6. Keep Steinmetz wording, modern translation, and ether-field interpretation in separate labeled layers.
