Electrical Help at Your Fingertips

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..

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.

An AFCI is a type of circuit breaker that is designed to protect against electrical fires caused by arcing faults. Read more..
