AC Motors Information
The AC Motors is an electric motor that is driven by alternating current, which in return produces mechanical energy. AC motors are divided into two types the single phase and three phase motors. The most common single phase AC motor is known as a universal motor. This is because this motor can also run with DC current. The major advantage of the AC motor is about its rotational or regulated speed, which can be easily changed as per the user’s requirement. This particular type of motor is commonly used and found all general day-to-day applications.
It solves all the purpose of household appliances like mixers, hand drills, which require a variable speed, limit with apparently low cost and in compact or small size design. The AC Motors are with very simple design, still are extremely reliable and with low maintenance operation. These Motors have no brushes to replace as in the DC motors. The best part of the AC Motors is their durability, if the motors application is well designed, an AC motor may not need new bearings for more than a decade.
The AC Motors are available in several variety of mounting styles:
- Foot Mount
- C-Face
- Large Flange
- Vertical
- Specialty
