Motors overheat due to excessive current, not necessarily voltage. Normal voltage can cause a motor to overheat if it is stuck (not spinning). The problem is not usually the voltage, but whatever is causing excessive current flow (usually because the motor is not spinning like it is supposed to).

How does ac electric motor convert in to an alternator?
a motor is a generator and a generator is a motor, if you are applying a voltage to turn the rotor its a motor and if you are turning the rotor and taking the voltage off the terminals its a generator or alternator.
What are the typical voltage and output for an electric bike or scooter motor?
36V to 72V
What causes the axle to spin in an electric motor?
Switching the field voltage to the coils forces the magnets to move.
How many amps does a 50 horse power electric motor use?
Need to know the voltage of the motor.
What is the function of variable frequency drive?
The function of a frequency drive is to control the speed of an electric motor. In general, a frequency drive converts the ac supply voltage into a dc voltage and then converts this dc voltage into a ac voltage of which the amplitude (voltage) and the frequency can be varied. Giving you the possibility to fully control the speed of the motor. Applications: (big) ventilators, pumps, cranes, elevators and virtually all other applications where electric motors are used.
What is the voltage tolerance of a standard electric motor?
the voltage tolerance of a standard electric motor is
How does ac electric motor convert in to an alternator?

What causes the overheating of commutator in dc motor?
brush friction, poor ventillation, excessive sparking caused by high voltage
What are the typical voltage and output for an electric bike or scooter motor?
36V to 72V
Why does under voltage cause overheating?
Overheating is a result of too much current flowing. AC motors are constant power devices, meaning they require the same amount of power to spin under a specific load. Power is equivalent to voltage times current. If voltage to a motor sags, the motor will attempt to make up the lack of voltage with an increase in current so the power stays the same. If voltage sags too much, the motor will overheat.
What is the name of a step-up which increases the voltage of electric energy that is generated at a power?
An electrical transformer can step up (or step down) the voltage.
What causes the axle to spin in an electric motor?
Switching the field voltage to the coils forces the magnets to move.
What is need to operate an electric motor?
Voltage is needed for both AC and DC motors.
What will be the fuse rating for a 330-440V electric motor?
First of all, what voltage are you going to use and second, what is the horsepower of the motor?
How many amps does a 50 horse power electric motor use?
Need to know the voltage of the motor.
How do you connect power to a 1.5 hp electric motor?
Need to know the voltage for proper connection procedures.
How do you make a 1998 club car go faster?
Depends if its gas or electric, either way a larger motor, in electric you can up the voltage a little
