Article 430, torque & AC adjust volt motors

[tim hessel]

Article 430.6(B)references torque motors. What is a torque motor, is it a traction motor? 430.6(C) refers to an Alternating-Current Adjustable Voltage motor. What is this?

Torque Motor:

"Torque motors are designed to provide high starting torque and sloping characteristics (torque is highest at zero speed and decreases steadily with increasing speed), and operate over a wide speed range. They also provide stable operation, especially in the low speed range or under a locked rotor condition."
