Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AC motor?
An AC motor is an electric motor that uses alternating current (AC) instead of direct current (DC). AC motors are more efficient than DC motors and can be found in a variety of applications, including fans, pumps, and compressors. Read more..
What is Ohm’s Law used for?
Ohm’s law is used to calculate the current in a circuit.
For example, if you know the voltage and resistance of a circuit, you can use Ohm’s law to calculate the current. Read more..
What is a synchronous motor?
Unlike an asynchronous AC motor, a synchronous AC motor rotates at the same speed as the frequency of the AC power supply. In order to achieve this, the synchronous AC motor must be synchronized with the power supply using a feedback system. Read more..
What is an induction motor?
An induction motor is an AC electric motor in which the electric current in the rotor needed to produce torque is obtained by electromagnetic induction from the magnetic field of the stator winding.
