An AC motor is an electric motor that runs on alternating current, like household electricity, as opposed to a DC motor that runs on direct current from a battery.

Most AC motors work from the mains supply, which has a frequency of 50Hz in the UK and 60Hz in the USA.

Other types are available that work like stepper motors and need a specialist supply to run them.
