A synchronous motor is an ac motor that does not run on dc.


Can you convert a DC motor to run on AC?

The easiest way would be to convert the AC power to DC by using a rectifier diode and a filter capacitor. In that way you can now run your DC motor on DC.


Can AC motor work on DC?

use a inverter to change dc to ac or couple it to a ac motor making it a motor generator. Comment: AC motors cannot run on DC since their principle of operation based on induction. There's an exception,however, and thats for Universal Series motor which can run on either AC or DC.


How do you differentiat dc motior and ac motor physicaly?

if you power an ac motor with dc or a dc motor with ac you will likely start smelling smoke and the motor will be damaged. If the motor is marked "3-phase", "shaded pole", or "induction" it is an ac motor! BTW, there are ac/dc motors that will run on both, they are wound very much like dc motors but a bit differently.

who is more efficient dc motor or ac motor and why?

DC motors are generally more efficient than AC motors. DC motors have a lower amount of inertial associated with them, making them more efficient to run.


What is the different between ac dc motors?

DC Motor works on DC source and AC motor works on AC source


Why would a 110 motor runs slowly backwards?

It depends on if the motor is an AC motor, or DC motor. DC motors only run backwards when the voltages get crossed between + and -.


What is AC motor and DC motor?

AC stands for alternating current, and DC is direct current. A motor is a device that uses electrical energy to spin. An AC motor uses AC voltage, and a DC motor uses DC voltage. http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Difference-Between-AC-and-DC-Electric-Motors&id=193767


Can DC series motor work on ac and DC and why?

A dc series motor can work on dc and ac because dc motors are totally reversible.
