Commonly used terms in the Electrical industry.
repulsion-induction motor
a single-phase motor designed to start as a repulsion motor, then run as an induction motor. The rotor has a DC-type winding with brushes shorted together, in addition to the normal squirrel cage winding. Although it is an expensive design, it provides excellent starting torque with low starting current (similar to a universal motor) and relatively constant speed under load.
