High power motor is AC or DC motor?

Either or Both - AC and or DC motor's are both rated by Horsepower / RPM / Torque, DC Motor's are more commonly used where you need to reverse the rotation on the fly (by a button push) - Crane's for example.

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.
