DC motors generally use commutators. Also some single phase AC motors use commutators. They are the type which which have their field windings connected in series with their armatures and they can typically be found in home vacuum cleaners, DIY-type ac electric drills, etc.

What are the disadvantages of DC motor?

It depends entirely on the motor design. The only universal disadvantage of a DC motor (vs. an AC motor) is the need for a DC power supply (DC power is more difficult to transmit efficiently over long distances, hence the use of AC for typical power grids). Typical brushed DC motors (the cheapest and hence one of the most common type of DC motor) tend to wear out eventually due to friction and draw MUCH higher current when stalled than when turning, which can cause overheating. They are also typically heavier than AC motors with similar specs. Of course all of these problems can be eliminated by using a (slightly more complex) brush-less motor design.


What type of ac motor will operate at a constant speed from no load to full load?

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).


What are the disadvantages of servo motors?

Top Ten DC Servo (brush type) Disadvantages (besides higher relative cost):1) Requires "tuning" to stabilize feedback loop.2) Motor "runs away" when something breaks. Safety circuits required.3) Complex. Requires encoder.4) Brush wear limits life to 2,000 hrs. Service is then required. This system causes friction between the brush and commutator, which requires replacing and maintenance5) Peak torque is limited to a 1% duty cycle.6) Motor can be damaged by sustained overload.7) Bewildering choice of motors, encoders, servo drives.8) Power supply current 10 times average to use peak torque. See (5).9) Motor develops peak power at higher speeds. Gearing often required.10) Poor motor cooling. Ventilated motors are easily contaminated.


Can a motor work as a generator?

Turn the shaft ;)A brushed-commutator dc motor can be turned into a generator by connecting its shaft to another source of power to make it turn at the correct speed.A diesel or gas engine - or another type of electric motor, such one that runs on 120V or 240V single phase ac - could be suitable.

How rotar rotates of DC motor?

The rotor in a DC motor rotates because the magnetic field in either the rotor or the stator is constantly changing. If it is a brush type DC motor, then the rotor field changes as the rotor moves to a new position on the commutator. If it is a brush-less type DC motor, then there is some circuitry associated with the stator that changes the stator field.


Which type of electrical motor is used in room clenar?

Vacuum cleaners require a high power to weight ratio in the motor and for that reason a commutator motor is used although the lifetime is relatively short for this type of motor before the brushes need replacing.
