Advancements in Written-Pole(R) products for rural applications

Abstract

Written-Pole(R) brand motors, generators and motor-generator sets have use of special interest for rural applications where single-phase distribution is predominant. These are based primarily on the large horsepower (10 to 75 or 100 hp) single-phase Written-Pole(R) motors. A number of advancements have been made in other areas also but this paper discusses three projects: (1) the internal rotor motor; (2) remote three-phase power sources; and (3) a power unit for center pivot irrigation systems.
