Fan works on ac or DC?
It depends on the motor. The fan is driven by an electric motor, and it can use a dc motor (as in a car) or an ac motor (as in a house). They are not interchangeable.
What are the applications of an AC motor?
Most of the motors are AC. Fans, Mixer, Industrial equipment, Aircon, vacuum cleaner, plenty of applications use AC motor
Is an AC generator can use AC motor and vice verso?
Are you planning to build a perpetual motion machine in which the power generated by an AC generator is used to run an AC motor which is used to run the same AC generator which provides it with power? Because that won't work. Yes, you can use a motor to generate electricity, and you can use electricity to run a motor, but the process is not 100% efficient and if you try to make it a closed loop, it will run down fairly quickly. So, what do we actually do? We use fuel to run an AC generator, or we use waterfalls or wind, or some other energy source, and then we use the power to run our motor.
Can you use a rheostat on ac motor?
Yes you can use a rheostat to control the speed of an ac motor as long as it is correctly sized (power). A better way would be to use a triac control.
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 can you run a dayton 115Volt AC motor on 230Volt AC?
Use a VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) to drive the motor and do not run the motor at more than 50% of the full capacity. For higher RPM use gear system.
How does a DC brushless motor work?
To state it simply, a DC brushless motor is not a DC motor. It is an AC motor with an inverter (or electronic commutator) on the front end to make the AC, so you can use a DC input.
What type of motor is used in ac servometer?
ac motor
Which is more effecient an ac motor or a dc motor?
ac
What type of motor does a typical window air conditioner unit use AC or DC?
My hubby says AC
What type of motor is used in table fan?
Small house fans run on single-phase induction motors.
What AC motor is used in an escalator?
we can either use dc series motor or induction machine ,but dc supply is not easily available so we use induction motor ,
