the quick answer is you cant. squirrel cage induction motors need AC power to generate the magnetic field in the rotor...if however you have a motor that has brushes in it (drills, mixers,etc) then this motor can be run off ac or dc..the commutator brushes do the work of moving the current to the proper coils at the proper time.

∙ 10y agoThe two are different machines, but you can connect diodes on the output of an ac generator to produce dc, that's what happens in alternators for cars.
A car alternator is a 3-phase ac generator, and you have six diodes. From each of the three phase outlets you have one diode to the positive rail and one to the negative.

How a ballast resistor convert DC into ac?
A resistor, by itself, can not convert DC into AC.
What is the different between ac dc motors?
DC Motor works on DC source and AC motor works on AC source
Which instrument is suitable for measuring both a.c. and d.c. quantities.?
We use the "MOTOR GENERATOR SET" to convert the DC power to AC power we use DC motor and ac generator in it. It is very efficient way to convert the DC power to AC power.
What type of electrical equipment cannot convert AC into DC?
A transformer cannot convert AC into DC.
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.
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.
Why ac drive convert ac voltage in dc?
It is done to control the speed of the motor.
How a ballast resistor convert DC into ac?
A resistor, by itself, can not convert DC into AC.
What is the different between ac dc motors?
DC Motor works on DC source and AC motor works on AC source
Which is used to convert DC to ac?
A power switching circuit called an inverter. You could also use an electromechanical motor-generator: DC motor turning an alternator.
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
How ac change to DC?
by the use of inverter we can convert ac to dc.

What type of electrical equipment cannot convert AC into DC?
A transformer cannot convert AC into DC.
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.
Which is more effecient an ac motor or a dc motor?
ac
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.
