AC
Make up a symmetrical rotating 120 degrees apart Poles of opposite polarity are formed
(60 Hz x 120) / 4 poles = 1800 rpm Theoretical or Synchronous - need to factor in slip

Soft Starts
Since AC motors are designed for a certain voltage and frequency ratio, changing the voltage alone will cause improper magnetization and increase losses and motor heat

Torque
in AC Motors
A one hp, four pole motor (1800 rpm sync.) has approximately 3 ft-lbs. of torque If the V/Hz ratio remains constant then the torque will remain constant over the speed range

Typical
Frame size
NEMA standard sizes Lower rpm motors will have larger frame sizes to help cool since the cooling fan is moving less air

Motor
Winding Connections
Typical motor has nine leads Follow motor instructions for connections for your nominal voltage
230 VAC diagrams will have the windings in parallel 460 VAC diagrams will have the windings in series
On part winding start motors tie both the start and the run together
Verify that both windings have the same rotation

Summary
AC Motors operate through rotating magnetic fields The speed of the motor is determined by the frequency of the power supply The torque of the motor is determined by the voltage applied AC motors are designed for a fixed voltage to frequency ratio
