What component of a motor changes the induced AC voltage into a pulsating DC?

The commutator is the moving part of the electrical switch in motors that reverses the current direction between the rotor and the external circuit. This is applicable in electrical motors and electrical generators.


What does AC stand for in physics?

AC stands for alternating current in physics. It is an electric current that reverses direction at regular intervals, typically used in power distribution and for electric motors.


What is the role of split rings in electric motors?

Split rings keep the current flowing in the same direction or the motor turning in the same direction when using alternating current which reverses direction in its cycle..


What will most likely cause arcing at a switch contact?

Arcing at a switch contact is most likely caused by loose or corroded connections, excessive current passing through the switch, or a defective switch mechanism. These conditions can create an unstable electrical path, leading to arcing between the switch contacts.


What type of current is used in an electirc motor?

Well that depends on the type of motor. DC motors use direct current DC and induction motors use alternation current AC.


How to control the starting current of motors?

What are the different types of motors used in Broan bathroom fans?

The different types of motors used in Broan bathroom fans are typically either AC motors or DC motors. AC motors are more common and are powered by alternating current, while DC motors are powered by direct current. Both types of motors are used in Broan fans to provide efficient and reliable operation.


How many current sensing devices are required by the National Electrical Code to protect a single-phase motor operated on 240 volts?

For a single phase fractional horsepower motor, only one over current device is needed in the motor feeder. This protection can come in the form of a switch which has the overload heater incorporated into it. These switches come in single and double pole configurations. Select the heater for the motors full load current that is taken from the motors nameplate. Search the web for "fractional motor starter switch".


Can you switch motors on a 1985 quad to a 1988?

You can not swtich the motors out in a 1985 Quad and a 1988 Quad. The reason you can not swtich the two motors is because they are not comatable with each model.
