3. Typical parameters determining synchronization are : voltage difference less than 5 %, frequency difference less than 0 . 2 Hz, and maximum phase angle between the sources of 5 electrical degrees.
4. Instead larger universal motors often have " compensation windings " in series with the motor, or sometimes inductively coupled, and placed at ninety electrical degrees to the main field axis.
5. A split-phase motor has a secondary startup winding that is 90 electrical degrees to the main winding, always centered directly between the poles of the main winding, and connected to the main winding by a set of electrical contacts.
