AC Motors

AC motors are devices that convert alternating current (AC) electrical energy into mechanical motion. They operate using electromagnetic principles, where the AC power creates a rotating magnetic field inside the motor. This rotating field interacts with a rotor (the moving part), causing it to turn and do work, such as powering appliances or industrial equipment. AC motors are widely used because they are reliable, efficient, and require minimal maintenance. They come in various types, including induction motors and synchronous motors, each suited for different applications based on their design and control needs.
