A dc series motor can work on dc and ac because dc motors are totally reversible.
Ac motor have slip ring, to remove the slip ring,connected to the commutator its a dc motor.
To state it simply, a DC brushless motor is not a DC motor. It is an AC motor with an inverter (or electronic commutator) on the front end to make the AC, so you can use a DC input.
Yes. You can "Meg" any motor, AC or DC.
The Synchronous motors will operate at a constant speed from noload to fullload. Even it is classified as an AC motor, we have to fed the motor both AC and DC supplies. That we have to supply DC to the Field (Normally Rotor) and AC to the Armature (Normally Stator).
ac current
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.
I've never heard of a DC ceiling fan, but.. AC-Alternating current. Electricity flows through a circuit in one direction, then changes direction and goes back the other way. This happens 60 times per second in the US. (60Hz) The US power distribution system is AC. DC-Direct Current. Electricity flows through a circuit in only one direction continuously. Batteries powering a flashlight, for example, are DC. Well, all batteries are DC. Like I said, I've never heard of a DC ceiling fan, but the DC fan's motor is designed to run on DC (such as batteries) only, and the AC fan motor is designed to run on AC only. I have heard however of a solar powered attic ventilator, which would be a DC fan. If there is a DC ceiling fan, however, keep in mind it needs a power source, and you won't be able to hook it up to the electrical box in the ceiling. That box is AC. The power source for a DC ceiling fan is likely replaceable batteries or solar cells, neither of which will make for a very robust fan.
A fans blades are driven by motors. Since there are both AC and DC motors, fans can be AC or DC. The fans in your computer are DC fans. Your ceiling fans are AC fans. (Thanks for fixing my answer)
DC Motor works on DC source and AC motor works on AC source
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
A dc series motor can work on dc and ac because dc motors are totally reversible.
ac
If you mean by that a normal home ceiling fan, No, you can't. Because it is an AC motor inside that. If you use fans using DC motors ,motors like the ones used in many toys for example or the ones used inside the earlier cassette or vcr tape drives, yes ,you can use DC.
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.
Ac motor have slip ring, to remove the slip ring,connected to the commutator its a dc motor.
A synchronous motor is an ac motor that does not run on dc.
