Why commutator are not used in ac motors?
Because, the commutator segments are used for converting AC to DC.
What are some common uses for AC motors?
There are quite a few types of AC motors that are used in everyday common applications. The AC motor is generally used more so than a DC motor. Some of the more well known and practical uses for a AC motor include, water pump motors, robot arm motors and various other uses that make the life of the common man easier.
How can you determine the difference between an AC or DC electric motor?
Direct current or DC electric motors work for situations where speed needs to be controlled. DC motors have a stable and continuous current. DC motors were the first and earliest motors used. They were found, however, to not be as good at producing power over long lengths. Electric companies found using DC motors to generate electric did not work because the power was lost as the electric was transmitted. Brush DC motors use rings that conduct the current and form the magnetic drive that powers the rotor. Brushless DC motors use a switch to produce the magnetic drive that powers the rotor. Direct current motors are often found in appliances around the home. Alternating current or AC electric motors are used differently based on what type of AC motor it is. Single phase AC motors are known as general purpose motors. They work well in many different situations. These AC motors work great for systems that are hard to start because they need a lot of power up front. Three phase, also called polyphase, AC motors are usually found in industrial settings. These motors also have high starting power built transmit lower levels of overall power. AC power gets its name from the fact that it alternates in power. The amount of power given off by an AC motor is determined by the amount of power needed to operate the system. garyDC motors are of mainly 3 types.series motors, shunt motors, and compound motors. DC motors are mainly used where high torque is required from less speed (rpm),and a constant rpm can be maintained.Used mainly in : lathe ,drill machines, grinding machines, compressors and so on.Ac machines have less expenses. Used widely because Ac is more popular. They have less torque on slow speeds.Used on cooling fans, water pumps etc.
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.
What is ac1 and ac3 contactor?
AC-1This applies to all AC devices (Resistive loads) with a power factor of at least power factor of 0.95 AC-3This applies to AC Inductive loads. Like squirrel cage motors.
Are the fan motors on fanuc ac spindle motors ac or dc?
usually ac 110v even on the dc motors
Who to increase torque of ac motors?
ac voltage
Can you use AC in motor?
AC current is used in motors.
Why are the ac series motors preferred for electric traction?
ac motor is nothing but induction motor.So check out for characteristics of induction motors.
Why does modern hybrids use ac synchronous motor instead of dc series motors?
Toyota uses AC motors, Honda uses DC motors. It varies with design goals.
What the main different between shunt motor and induction motor and AC motors?
induction motor is AC motor also synchronic motors are AC motors but second one has not slip but first one has slip . shut motor is DC motor
What are the uses of an AC motor?
Most of the Industry uses AC motors only.
Who owns ac delco?
General Motors
What are the types of induction motors?
2 types of motors First - AC Second - DC
Is fan operating in ac voltage?
A fans blades are driven by motors. Since there are both AC and DC motors, fans can be AC or DC. The fans in your computer are DC fans. Your ceiling fans are AC fans. (Thanks for fixing my answer)
Where can I buy the best ac motor?
The company Baldor is widely known as the best AC motors on the market. You can find these motors at the website www.baldor.com/products/ac_motors.asp.
I need to find a company that sells ac motors.?
If you need to buy a new AC Motor then I would suggest buying it online automationdirect.com has Ac Motors and plenty of other supply's for home electronics.
