"Polyphase" Motor

(OP)
what is meant by a "polyphase" motor?

RE: "Polyphase" Motor

Is this a student question?

Polyphase = Many phases.

Q.E.D. More than one phase.  Not Single Phase.

RE: "Polyphase" Motor

And that usually means 3-phase.

RE: "Polyphase" Motor

It could also be one of the Berger-Lahr (or Philips) five-phase motors.
