Electric Motors – Single Phase, Repulsion Induction and Repulsion Motors
A rare, early 20th century, commutating, single phase, 25 cycle, alternating current motor, likely of the repulsion induction type, but requires further study. An early marker of vastly changing times to come, following the first wave of home electrification. It would herald the coming invasion of the Canadian home by electro-motive technology, General Electric, date unknown. [see also ID# 293]
Technical Significance:
– A rare example of an early communtating, alternating current motor
– Requires further research to document technical significance.
– An early marker of vastly changing times to come, following the first wave of home electrification technology. A cultural icon, it would herald the coming invasion of the Canadian home by electro-motive technology, starting in central Canada in the 1920’s.
