when machine is taking electrical supply and produces flux, torque etc inside and gives mechanical (rotational) output it is MOTOR

but when this motor is connected to some thing which results in drawing current and work to be done, that thing is LOAD

without any load motor has maximum speed and by increasing load speed decreases..

Answer

Anything connected to a supply which draws current is a 'load'. 'Heavy loads' draw a lot of current, whereas 'light loads' draw little current. So a motor represents a load to the electrical supply; this applies whether the motor is driving a 'mechanical load' or not. We use the term 'mechanical load' to describe whatever (fan, compressor, pump, etc.) is being driven by a motor.

What measures should you take in order to rewind a motor for three phase?

Remove the motor from the system. Get the motor rewound at a motor rewinding shop. Replace the motor back into the system. While the motor is at the rewind shop find out why the motor burnt out. The first thing that should be checked is the overload protection. Make sure that is is the same as the motors full load amps.

Can a 440 - 480V 60Hz motor run in a site with 380V 60Hz supply If No how can it work?

The motor will run, probably at nearly the same speed, but it cannot supply the same mechanical load. If it can be run on a lighter load, proportional to the voltage, it should be OK.

What is the speed of DC series motor at no load?

No load speed is the speed that the motor run when it has no load, i.e., the motor is separated from the engine, that speed is than greater than the rated speed, because the rated speed is the speed whwn the motor are linked to the load and it is the full load.
