The AC Motor in Action . Motor action (supplying mechanical power) is, in essence, the reverse of generator action. Instead of spinning the armature to make electricity, current is fed by a ...

Topics covered in this video: circuits, current, magnets, electromagnets, armature, commutator, brushes, stator, and rotor. This video only covers DC motors. Maybe I will cover AC motors in a ...

When energy-efficiency costs come into play, more designers are opting for the electronically commutated motor rather than familiar AC and DC versions. For motor applications, engineers have ...

The construction of a DC motor is considerably more complicated and expensive than that of an AC motor, primarily due to the commutator, brushes, and armature windings. An induction motor requires no ...

The Basics of DC and AC Motors. DC motors rely on carbon brushes and a commutation ring to switch the direction of the current and magnetic field polarity in a rotating armature.
