No ... AC means Alternating Current - DC means Direct Current. DC is used mostly for electronics and for voltages within our vehicles. AC is used for motors and for our household appliances and lamps.

What is dc motor with synchoronous operation?
A synchronous motor is an ac motor that does not run on dc.
What electric motor does an electric car use?
A electric car uses either a DC or AC motor. Typically they use DC motors.
Fan works on ac or DC?
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.
What is AC motor and DC motor?
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
Can you convert a DC motor to run on AC?
The easiest way would be to convert the AC power to DC by using a rectifier diode and a filter capacitor. In that way you can now run your DC motor on DC.
Is the electric motor in a Ford Fusion hybrid AC or Dc?
It is an AC powered vehicle. It has an 88KW Magnet AC Synchronous Motor
Can motor run on ac or dc?
Motors are available that run on either.
Can AC motor work on DC?
use a inverter to change dc to ac or couple it to a ac motor making it a motor generator. Comment: AC motors cannot run on DC since their principle of operation based on induction. There's an exception,however, and thats for Universal Series motor which can run on either AC or DC.
How do you differentiat dc motior and ac motor physicaly?
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.
Can a ac motor produce electricity?
Technically YES. But the source of power in Electric cars being DC through batteries, the motor must be DC and not AC.
Can compressor run in DC volt?
There are compressors with motors designed to run on DC. A compressor with an AC motor can't.
What is difference between ac series motor and dc series motor?
AC series motor uses the electric current to run the motor. Whereas DC motor uses the battery power to run it.AnswerAn a.c. series motor is termed a 'universal motor', because it will run on either a.c. or d.c. A.C. series motors are constructed in essentially the same way.
