Best Answer

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.
