DC motors are generally more efficient than AC motors. DC motors have a lower amount of inertial associated with them, making them more efficient to run.

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 DC series motor work on ac and DC and why?

A dc series motor can work on dc and ac because dc motors are totally reversible.


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.


How do you change an ac motor to a DC motor?

Ac motor have slip ring, to remove the slip ring,connected to the commutator its a dc motor.


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.


What is dc motor with synchoronous operation?

A synchronous motor is an ac motor that does not run on dc.

How does a DC brushless motor work?

To state it simply, a DC brushless motor is not a DC motor. It is an AC motor with an inverter (or electronic commutator) on the front end to make the AC, so you can use a DC input.


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

its commutator..which converts ac produced by and motor to pulsating dc ... more the commutator divide more accurate dc..means less pulse in dc
