How fan is prepared?

fan generally works on an electric motor. When electricity is passed through the coil in the motor the axle rotates. In a fan the axle is attached to the main body which has blades aerodynamically designed to generate an action creating wind. Direction of current through the motor decides the direction of rotation of theales.


Why must the direction of the current in a motors electromagnets be switched repeatedly?

The magnetism set up in the motor, attracts opposite poles. One pole is in the rotor and the the other on the stator. The attraction causes the rotor to turn. If allowed to continue, the pole will get as close as possible and then stop. The motor will stall. On a brushed, DC motor, the commutator acts as a switch and turns off the nearest coils and connects the next one along, allowing continuous rotation. On an AC motor, the supply is changing direction, this acts in synchronization with the rotation.


Why current is supplied to DC motor?

What supplies a dc motor is not current, but voltage. Current is what flows in the circuit formed by the dc motor and for the charge. That current varies according to the resistance of the circuit.


What is the principle of galvanometer?

Galvometer works on the principle of conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy. It is an instrument used to indicate the presence, direction or strength of a small electric current.


How do robots work by themselves?

by coding them(using microcontrollers or computers,etc) for ex.to move a robot you need some code on chip to set 1(5v) for motor to move it. to rotate u need to set(enabling motor 1 , direction to (1)for ex and another motor enable it and make direction (0)for ex

Can small permanent magnet motors be reverse direction if the direction of current flow to the motor is reverse?

Permanent magnet field motors. With a these motors, a permanent magnet is used to replace the field coil. DC power is connected via the brushes, to the armature only. Reversing the polarity, will cause the motor to reverse its direction of rotation. It is very common to use a switch to intentionally reverse to the polarity, to allow reversal of the motor if desired.


Reverse direction of singlr phase ac induction motor?

The direction of a singular phase induction ac motor can be reversed by switching the capacitor in relation with the motor windings. When started in the reverse direction, the motor will maintain the same torque level that it had in the forward direction.


How does torque reverse in a dc motor after half a revolution?

The point is that, with a d.c. motor, we don't want the torque to reverse every half-revolution, if the motor is to continue running in the same direction. To achieve this, we use a split-ring commutator/brushes, which rotates with the armature coil. Essentially, a split-ring commutator has twofunctions: (1) to enable us to connect the rotating coil to an external supply circuit and (b) to act as a rotating switch, ensuring that the armature current always flows in the same direction relative to the motor's magnetic field. Thanks to (b), the machine will continue to rotate in the same direction.Without a split-ring commutator, after half a revolution, the armature current will reverse direction relative to the magnetic field, the torque will reverse, and the motor will reverse direction.


Reverse direction on a 480 ac motor?

How do you change the direction of 3 phase motor?

Reverse any two line leads connected to the motor will reverse the directional rotation of the motor


Need of changing current direction in 3 phase motor?

Your question is confusing. Are you asking how to reverse the direction of a three-phase motor? If so, then the answer is that you simply interchange any two of the line conductors. This will cause the naturally-rotating magnetic field in the motor's air gap to reverse direction, causing the rotor to reverse direction.


How do appliances work if AC reverses direction?

AC current alternates polarity back-and-forth continually, by definition. Therefore, it is not possible to reverse AC direction. It is DC current that is directional such that when it's polarity is reversed the motor responds by turning in the opposite direction.


What happens if the direction of current at the terminals of a series motor is reversed?

No changes will occur by wiring a 110 volt motor in reverse polarity, rotation will always be the same. Some single phase motors are designed to be reversed ,but that is a function of the relationship of start windings and capacitors and requires some wiring changes in a motor junction box or an end terminal housing, not by just changing the incoming power.


Switch that regularly reverses the current in some motors?

A switch that reverses the direction of the current in a motor is called a forward reverse drum switch. It is a single phase motor that turns from clockwise to counter clockwise.
