Frequently Asked Questions
What is an alternator?
An alternator is a device that creates alternating current by transforming mechanical energy into electrical energy. Read more..
How does and AC motor work?
An AC motor works by using electromagnetism to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. The alternating current creates a rotating magnetic field that interacts with the armature, or rotor, of the motor to create torque. Read more..
