Induction motor

Induction motors are the most common motors used for various equipments in industry. Their popularity is due to their simple design, they are inexpensive and easy to maintain, and can be directly connected to an AC power source.

Types Of Electric Motors (3)

*AC Motors:

Alternating current (AC) motors use an electrical current, which reverses its direction at regular intervals. An AC motor has two basic electrical parts: a "stator" and a "rotor" . The stator is in the stationary electrical component. The rotor is the rotating electrical component

* Separately excited DC motor:

If the field current is supplied from a separate source it is a separately excited DC motor.

Types Of Electric Motors (1)

DC motors:

Direct-current motors, as the name implies, use direct-unidirectional current. DC motors are used in special applications where high torque starting or smooth acceleration over
a broad speed range is required.

Electric Motors

Electric motors are a kind of machine that serves the purpose of converting electrical energy into mechanical energy (such that can be used in a mechanical machine to turn cogs or levers etc). Electric motors normally operate through the interaction of

AC Motor Torque

As a follow up on my AC Motors series, I thought it would be a good idea to provide a short overview of work, power and torque as it applies to the AC motor. I will provide a reference to a more in depth study at the end of this article.

Some Important Information About Solar Power

Solar power is a phrase generically used to describe various methods involving harnessing the sun's light and transferring that into some form of other useful energy.
