First of all we should understand the concept of electric DC motors, an electric motor is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most of the electric motors operate through the interaction between electric motor’s magnetic field and winding currents to generate force within the motor. In certain applications, such as in the… Read More »
To best understand the Electromagnetic Induction lets first have a look on two important laws relating to the subject of this article. Lenz’s law is named after a Russian physicist of Baltic German descent Heinrich Lenz in 1834, and it states that, if an induced current flows, its direction is always such that it will… Read More »
The electrical energy is almost exclusively generated, transmitted and distributed in the form of alternating current. Therefore, the question of power factor immediately comes into picture. Most of the loads (e.g. induction motors, arc lamps) are inductive in nature and hence have low lagging power factor. Low power factor is highly undesirable as it causes… Read More »
What is a Gear Motor? Gear motor is a special type of electrical motor. The main purpose of gear motor is to produce high torque while using a low horsepower, or low speed, motor output. You can find gear motors in many different applications including in many devices or appliances in your home. Gear motors… Read More »
Brushless motor also known as BLDC motor is a synchronous motor that gets power by a DC electric source. It uses an integrated inverter, which ultimately produces an AC electric signal to drive the motor. British scientist Michael Faraday first experimented with the idea of the electromagnetic induction motor in the early 1800’s. During that… Read More »
DC motor runs on direct or dc current. On this page we shall understand the function of each component of the motor. In general there are two major parts of any motor i.e. stationary part and moving part. The stationary part is mainly the outer part that houses the field windings and receives the supply also… Read More »
