Everything about AC and DC Motors

In this article, we intend to review the AC and DC motors, introduce its various applications and parts. Stay with us.

An electric motor is an electronic machine whose main task is to convert electrical energy into kinetic energy.

AC motor is one of the most widely used electric motors to create motion in industrial and home equipment. Industry owners have considered this motor due to its cost-effectiveness, high strength, and simplicity in construction.

AC motor is an abbreviation for Alternating Current motors invented by Nicola Tesla to transform energy from electrical into mechanical type just like DC motors (Directional Current motor).
AC motors may be found in fans, hairdryers, clocks, washing machines, and many other applicants providing services in offices, factories, businesses, etc.

The two main types of AC motors are induction motor and synchronous motors. The induction motor (or asynchronous motor) always relies on a small difference in speed between the stator rotating magnetic field and the rotor shaft speed called slip to induce rotor current in the rotor AC winding. As a result, the induction motor cannot produce torque near synchronous speed where induction (or slip) is irrelevant or ceases to exist. In contrast, the synchronous motor does not rely on slip-induction for operation and uses either permanent magnets, salient poles (having projecting magnetic poles), or an independently excited rotor winding. The synchronous motor produces its rated torque at exactly synchronous speed. see more


 

The difference between AC and DC generators: Use and Maintenance

The main difference between AC and DC motors is in the type of input current. The AC motor has a direct input current, and the DC motor has a direct input current.

As the world’s leading provider of large motors, Siemens Norwood, OH AboveNEMA motor facility is celebrating over 120 Years with global service and support that includes over 100 patents. Siemens offers a complete line of large AC 3-phase induction motors from its ISO-9001 Certified plant. Motors range from horizontal AC induction motors up to 22,000 horsepower and voltage ranges from 460 to 13,200 volts – to large AC vertical motors up to 8,000 HP.

DC Motors

A DC motor is any of a class of rotary electrical motors that converts direct current electrical energy into mechanical energy. The most common types rely on the forces produced by magnetic fields. Nearly all types of DC motors have some internal mechanism, either electromechanical or electronic, to periodically change the direction of current in part of the motor.click here


DC Genertor

Parts of dc generator can be said to play a significant role within such kind of generator. Like any machine, a dc generator consists of different parts. It is an electrical instrument that transforms mechanical energy into electricity. The working principle, different types as well as pros and cons will be discussed next to parts of dc generator in detail, at Linquip.

If external mechanical power is applied to a DC motor it acts as a DC generator, a dynamo. This feature is used to slow down and recharge batteries on hybrid and electric cars or to return electricity back to the electric grid used on a street car or electric powered train line when they slow down. This process is called regenerative braking on hybrid and electric cars. In diesel electric locomotives they also use their DC motors as generators to slow down but dissipate the energy in resistor stacks. Newer designs are adding large battery packs to recapture some of this energy.

Introduction of electric motors and types

Image
  You've probably heard of electric motors by now. A critical piece in all electrical appliances. In this article, we will introduce electric motors in detail and examine its types, so stay tuned. An electric motor is a component that converts electrical energy into kinetic energy. Most electric motors are  electromagnetic -based. Most electric motors are rotary, but there are also linear motors. In a rotating motor, the moving part (usually inside the engine) is called the impeller or rotor, and the fixed position is called the station or stator. The motor consists of electric magnets wound on a frame. Although this frame is often referred to as armature, the term is often misused. Types of Electric Motor Electric motors may be classified by considerations such as power source type, internal construction, application and type of motion output. In addition to AC versus DC types, motors may be brushed or brushless, may be of various phase (see single-phase, two-phase, or three-phase

Read more about Centrifugal Compressor

 Centrifugal Compressor is one of the types of compressors. In this post, we talked about how it works, its types, and comparing it with several other compressors. The radial compressor is also called a centrifugal compressor. This kind of dynamic compressor has a radial design. They operate at constant pressure and any changes in the external conditions will affect the performance of these compressors. Centrifugal compressors, sometimes called radial compressors, are a sub-class of dynamic axisymmetric work-absorbing turbomachinery. They achieve a pressure rise by adding kinetic energy/velocity to a continuous flow of fluid through the rotor or impeller.   Types of  Centrifugal Compressor Multi-Stage Compressor Multi-stage compressors are among different types of centrifugal compressors. As the name suggests, this compressor has been designed to pass the gas through multiple stages for diverse purposes. Multi-stage compressors are used when a single-stage compressor can’t keep up with

Review and introduction of different parts of control valves

Image
 Control valves are one of the applications in home and industrial applications. We have talked about it in previous articles. In this article, in addition to an overview of its use, we want to introduce Control Valve Parts . Stay with us. What is Control Valve? A control valve is a valve used to control fluid flow by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal from a controller.This enables the direct control of flow rate and the consequential control of process quantities such as pressure, temperature, and liquid level. In automatic control terminology, a control valve is termed a "final control element". Bad fuel can cause key engine parts, such as the injection control unit, fuel pressure control valve, fuel oil pump or cylinder liners and piston rings to go from new to unusable in no time.  Read more The main purposes of control valves: Relieving the system from specific pressures Controlling the flow direction Increasing or decrease the flow Parts of co
