There is an instrument that used a strobe light to check shaft rotation on a motor. It is somewhat like the timing light that is used on vehicle engines to check their timing. There is also a mechanical dial device that is physically touched to the pully or gear end and center of the turning rotor shaft and the RPM is read right off of the dial face.

How do you calculate the top speed of an electric motor?

Yea, but what if you are building the motor yourself and need to know the maximum rpm it will reach.


Do you measure amps on 220 volt electric motor by measuring one line or both and combining total of the two?

In a single phase 220 volt electric motor just measure one line. That already represents your line current. That line current is equal to your total current circulating in your motor.


What does os and ls stand for on electric motor id tags?

On electric motor ID tags, "OS" typically stands for "Open Drip Proof," indicating that the motor is designed with a specific level of protection against moisture and dust but does not have a full enclosure. "LS" usually stands for "Low Speed," referring to motors designed to operate at lower RPMs. These designations help identify the motor's intended application and environmental suitability.


What is the function of an electric motor in terms of electric power and motor?

The electric motor changes electric energy into mechanical energy.


How fast does weed whacker motor go?

Why the DC motor is call as synchronous motor?

A 60Hz synchronous motor spins at synchronous speed - if it's a two pole motor it will spin at exactly 1800 rpms. An asynchronous motor will spin at a speed lower than the power supply frequency - a symilar asynchronous motor may spin at 1700 rpms.


Does the electric super charger work?

No. the electric super charger does not spin fast enough to push the amount of air an engine needs at high RPMs. At low RPMs the charger may help but will hurt more than help at high RPMs. it does work for the lower rpms just like a supercharger evn if you can produce 4lbs and it will lose power and higher rpms just like a regular rotary style blower its designed for thos lower rpms. they work great for musle cars because the have the low end torque to move the pulley but at higher rpm it loses boost steadly same with the electric supercharger.


When to shift up and does it have to do with the RPMs?

Shifting up or down is directly related to the rpm. of the motor. It will vary with the motorcycle motor size.

How much horsepower is in a 1979 350 Chevy motor?

165 HP at 3800 RPMS.


Why it is that mechanical energy is the output of an electric motor?

Because that is the purpose on an electric motor.
