CLASSIFICATION OF ELECTRICAL MACHINE
(a) motor
       1) DC motor
       2) AC motor
                    * synchronous motor
                    * induction motor
                                       # squirrel cage rotor   (the most common AC motor)
                                       # wound rotor           (for variable speed)
(b) generator

INDUCTION MOTOR
the synchronous speed of 50Hz induction motor :

poles per phase	2	4	6	8	10	12
rpm	3000	1500	1000	750	600	500

the synchronous speed (N_s) in rpm is given by :
                                       N_s = 120 f / p
                                       where f = frequency & p = poles per phase

BACK EMF
it is also called counter electromotive force ( cemf )

SOFT STARTING
Y :      higher V & lower I
Δ :      lower V & higher I
thus, always star then delta , just remember Star Buck @ Star Duck @ Why Duck ?
