What is the overheating voltage of an electric motor?

Motors overheat due to excessive current, not necessarily voltage. Normal voltage can cause a motor to overheat if it is stuck (not spinning). The problem is not usually the voltage, but whatever is causing excessive current flow (usually because the motor is not spinning like it is supposed to).


What allows the current to enter the electronromagnet in an electric motor?

The resistor allows current to enter the electromagnet in an electric motor. The resistor regulates the amount of current that enters the electric motor.


The current in an electric motor comes from?

Power plants (fueled by elements) produce the electrical energy that circuits to an outlet that you can charge an electric motor with a plug that is wired to an electric motor. Or if it is a vehicle with an electric motor, you electrically charge car batteries that produce the current to the electric motor.


What has to occur for an electric motor to spin freely?

In order for an electric motor to spin freely you will have to make sure you have one thing. You have to have the electric current for the motor to run freely.


What is the main difference between dc motor and dc servo motor?

A DC motor is an electric motor that turns on the application of a DC current. A DC Servo motor is similar but it produces a DC current from a mechanic movement of the armateur or may also produce small movement from the application of low current.. An example of a servo motor is as was used in steering gears and auto pilots. The physical turning of the wheel either caused a current to flow or caused an inbalance in the electrical systems, this causes a counter action to restore the original position.


What is a heater overload?

overload heater is used to protect a large electric motor. If the overload heater get too hot from excessive current. its nomally-closed overload contacts wil open. interruptting the circiut of powe supply of motor


What is induction motor?

Induction motor is an AC electric motor which uses electromagnetic induction to induce the electric current in the rotor to produce torque.

Is galvanometer generator alternating current or direct current needed to operate an electric motor?

That depends if it is an ac or dc motor.


In an electric motor where is the location where the current enters the electromagnet?

Why does a slow motor create high amps?

Excessive resistance (drag), will cause motor to draw more amps (current flow) to operate.
