Electric Motor
it is one kind of machine used to convert the energy from electrical and mechanical. Most of the motors work through the communication among the electrical current and magnetic field of the motor’s winding for generating force in the form of shaft rotation. These motors can be triggered by a DC source or AC source. A generator is mechanically the same to an electric motor, however, works in the opposite direction by changing mechanical energy to electrical energy. The electric motor diagram is shown below.
The classification of electric motors can be done based on considerations like the type of power source, construction, motion output type, and application. They are AC type, DC type, brushless, brushed, phase type like single phase, two or three phases, etc. The motors with typical characteristics & dimensions can provide suitable mechanical power to use in industries. These motors are applicable in pumps, industrial fans, machine tools, blowers, power tools, disk drives.
Applications of Electrical Motor
The applications of electrical motor include the following.
- The applications of electrical motor mainly include blowers, fans, machine tools, pumps, turbines, power tools, alternators, compressors, rolling mills, ships, movers, and paper mills.
- The electric motor is an essential device in different applications like HVAC- heating ventilating & cooling equipment, home appliances, and motor vehicles.
