Understanding Electric Motors and Their Uses

The world of electric motors is quite fascinating. For many making and collecting various types of electric motors is a hobby and for others making them to power various devices is a profession. Whatever the approach is, but these devices offer innumerable possibilities for improvisation.

Working with them and understanding them is a rewarding and learning experience. Let us find out more about these in general. Usually, they can be classified into two main types. They are direct current or DC and alternating current or AC motors. DC or AC is very common terms and they refer to how the electrical current is transferred through and from the motor. Both types of motors have different utilities and uses.

DC motors are usually available in two general types. Alike, AC motors also come in two different types. They can be two phase or three phase AC motors. Although on technical front, the differences in DC and AC motors are sometimes marginal, but some of these differences make one types better than the other for a certain use.

In general, the DC electric motors work for conditions controlling the speed is essential. It is due to the factor that DC motors have a steady and constant current. DC motors are also the first and earliest motors used. But these good factors are also accompanied with some limitations; for instance, the DC electric motors are incapable of producing power over long period of time.

Most of the electric companies are aware of the limitation of the DC motor and have found that the power was lost as the electric current was transmitted. One of the variant, the Brush DC motors, uses certain rings that conduct the current and form the magnetic drive that runs the rotor. On the other hand, the brush-less DC electric motors bring forth a switch to generate the magnetic drive that powers the rotor. Direct current motors commonly used in most of the electric appliances in your home.

Now coming back to the AC motors we find that these kinds of motors are commonly used on the basis of their type. For instance, the single phase AC motors are used for general purpose. This type of motors will work efficiently in different conditions. AC motors are effective for systems that are hard to start because they need a lot of power for this purpose.

The three phase AC motors, also called polyphase, are commonly found in industrial sector. The AC motors have a high starting power built to transmit lower levels of overall power. As it alternated the power, so it gets its name AC. The amount of power specified by an AC motor is determined by the amount of power needed to operate the system.

Generally, the DC and AC motors are easily come across everywhere from the home to the car to industrial uses. The introduction of DC motors is still considered no less than a revolution and when AC motors were available in the market the way motors were looked at changed because of their amazing starting power potential. DC motors and AC motors are different in many ways, but they still both are used to power the world of electric appliances.

how does an electric motor convert electrical energy to mechanical energy?

we all know that an electric motor can convert electrical energy to mechanical energy but i'm asking is how or whats the process does it conduct

It's all done with the magic of electromagnets. You know you can create a magnetic field with a coil, right? Well you stick your coil on a stick so it can spin and turn it on. Put another magnet near it, and the coil will turn to the point of greatest attraction (or away from the point of greatest repulsion, depending on how the poles are aligned).

This movement is itself an example of electrical energy being converted into mechanical energy. The only problem is, the coil only moves a little way and then stops because it has reached the point of greatest atttraction (or repulsion).

So what to do. Obviously you'd like it to just keep spinning around.

Well, if you reverse the current in the coil, you reverse the poles of the field it's generating. The field and the magnet now have a new point of equilibrium, and the coil moves to that.

So anyway, in a motor you've got a coil surrounded by magnets. The coil initially turns to the next point of equilibrium, but in so doing it moves a couple of "brushes" from one set of contacts to another, which reverses the coil's polarity. The effect of this is, that just as the coil reaches the equilibrium point at which it should stop, the equilibrum point is "moved" over to the next point around the circle that the motor is turning in. This is repeated over and over.

The overall effect is that the motor turns, and will keep turning so long as electricity is being fed to the coil. In effect, the electricity (some of it anyway) is being converted to mechanical work.

It is a bitching little invention.
