Motors

Introduction

A motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

Reverse the operation performs a generator or dynamo.
In some cases the two devices differ only in their application and minor
construction details. Some applications use a single device for both
functions.
Poe example, the traction motors of locomotives perform two functions:
traction and dynamic braking.

AC motors are divided into two main groups:

Synchronous motors
Induction Motors
High power engines usually operate with three-phase source.
For home use are both versions.
Usually AC motors are not suitable for variable speed
applications since it depends mainly on the operating frequency
of the applied voltage.
 Universal Motors

A variant of the DC motor is the universal motor. The name

derives from the fact that can be used both AC and DC in
operation, although in practice almost always used with AC
power.
Its main advantage lies in the fact that AC power can be
used in engines that have the typical characteristic of a DC
motor: high starting torque and a compact design when high
operating speeds are required.
A negative aspect of these motors is their maintenance by
the presence of the switch. That is why its use is limited to
intermittent use applications as domestic drills, blenders,
juicers, etc.
