Glossary of Motor Terms
Revolving field motor
An induction motor or synchronous motor using distributed windings. Squirrel-cage induction motors for industry applications which run on 50/60 Hz power supplies (grid) are a typical example of the type. The hysteresis motor and reluctance motor are also revolving field motors.
