A repulsion motor has a field coil connected to AC power and shorted brushes offset from the field axis by 15-25 degrees. This induces current in the armature which opposes the field, producing rotation. Speed can be controlled by adjusting brush position relative to the field. It has superior commutation below synchronous speed due to low starting current producing high starting torque but inferior commutation above synchronous speed.

Repulsion motor

A repulsion motor (Figure below) consists of a field directly connected to the AC line voltage and a pair of shorted brushes offset by 15oto 25o from the field axis. The field induces a current flow into the shorted armature whose magnetic field opposes that of the field coils. Speed can be controlled by rotating the brushes with respect to the field axis. This motor has superior commutation below synchronous speed, inferior commutation above synchronous speed. Low starting current produces high starting torque.
Operation of a Repulsion Motor The connection of the stator winding of a repulsion motor to a single-phase line causes a field to be developed by the current in the stator windings. This stator field induces a voltage and a resultant current in the rotor windings. If the brushes are placed in the proper position on the commutator segments, the current in the armature windings will set up proper magnetic poles in the armature. These armature field poles have a set relationship to the stator field poles. That is, the magnetic poles developed in the armature are set off from the field poles of the stator winding by about 15 electrical degrees. Furthermore, since the instantaneous polarity of the rotor poles is the same as that of the adjacent stator poles, the repulsion torque created causes the rotation of the motor armature.
