A synchronous and synchronous motors are the two main categories of ac motors. The induction motor is a common form of asynchronous motor and is basically an ac transformer with a rotating secondary.

For motor applications, engineers have several options at their disposal. Typically, engineers can choose between direct-current (DC) or alternating-current (AC) motors. Machine Design has covered the ...

During the constant worldwide campaign to make the planet as clean as possible, electric vehicle (EV) drivers have an improving chance of driving cars with fewer moving parts. One of an EV’s greatest ...
