Comparison of electric motors: Difference between revisions

This article deals about the differences between electric engines and the most appropriate forms for particular tasks.

Basic design of electric engines

Types

Electric motors can be divided into 3 main types: alternating current (AC) motors, direct current (DC) motors, and universal motors. An AC electric motor will not run when supplied with DC current, and a DC motor will not run on AC current; a universal motor will however run on either AC or DC current.

Subtypes:

• AC electric motors:
• DC electric motors: Brushed DC electric motor, Brushless DC electric motor
• Universal motors:

Requirement of clutch + gearbox ?

• Yes --> types:
• No --> types: variable freqquency drive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_controller#Variable_frequency_drives ), Adjustable speed drive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjustable_speed_drive ), ...
