The need of electric motors was always there, irrespective of the technological advancement in every industry. Manufacturers in India as well as across other parts of the world have taken ample care, to offer the best to every industry, by designing less power consuming electric motors with a higher power generation.
From mixer grinders to giant hydroelectric power generating motors, these machines made their strong presence loud and clear. Even the laptop or computer you use to type a small letter or play a game runs multiple motors inside, like the cooling fans that keep the machine cool and let it run longer.
Whatever be the source of energy, the end point machine that drives any machinery is ultimately an electric motor. Industries, residential and commercial applications of electric motors are definitely not the end of the industry, as it expanded beyond the traditional purposes of machinery needs.
Broadly the electric motors are categorised into 2 sections; DC and AC motors. DC motors run with direct current, which means the power is supplied from a battery. Whereas AC motors are dependent of alternate current, supplied from the regular electricity connection we have everywhere.
The AC motors are then sub-categorized into Synchronous and Induction motors.The induction motors are single phase and three phase motors.
DC motors are self-excited and separately excited. The self-excited ones are shunt motors, series motors and compound motors.
The basic parts of a DC motor are field pole, armature and commutator. The AC motor has stator and rotor.
Users need to make sure that the operating voltage of the motors should be maintained at its best, so that there are no issues regarding the performance of the motor.
