Electric motor designs can vary quite a lot, though in general they have three main parts: a rotor, a stator and a commutator. These three parts use the attractive and repulsive forces of electromagnetism, causing the motor to spin continually as long as it receives a steady flow of electric current.

ExplainerWhat's inside an electric motor?
Artwork: A simplified diagram of the parts in an electric motor. There's a permanent magnet (or magnets) around the edge of the motor case that remains static, so it's called the stator of a motor. Inside the stator, there's the coil, mounted on an axle that spins around at high speed—and this is called the rotor.

ExplainerWhat is a motor made of?
You can take a motor apart to see what it's made of. The coil is made of copper wire - because it is such an excellent conductor (see conducting properties). It is wound onto an armature. The coil becomes an electromagnet when a current flows through it.

ExplainerHow does a electric motor work?
An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of rotation of a shaft.

ExplainerWhat is a motor in physics?
Electric motors involve rotating coils of wire which are driven by the magnetic force exerted by a magnetic field on an electric current. They transform electrical energy into mechanical energy.

ExplainerWhat is armature in motor?
In electrical engineering, an armature is the component of an electric machine which carries alternating current. When the machine or motor is used as a motor, this EMF opposes the armature current, and the armature converts electrical power to mechanical power in the form of torque, and transfers it via the shaft.

ExplainerWhat are the parts of an AC motor?
The AC motor consists of two main parts: the rotor and the stator. The stator is the outer shell and remains stationary. It has windings that transform the incoming electricity into a magnetic field.

ExplainerHow do AC electric motors work?
An AC motor is an electric motor driven by an alternating current (AC). The AC motor commonly consists of two basic parts, an outside stator having coils supplied with alternating current to produce a rotating magnetic field, and an inside rotor attached to the output shaft producing a second rotating magnetic field.

ExplainerWhat is the working principle of 3 phase induction motor?
Three phase Induction motor working principle
(1) When the 3 phase stator winding is energised from a 3 phase supply, a rotating magnetic field is produced which rotates around the stator at synchronous speed. (2) The rotating magnetic field cuts the rotor conductors, which as yet, are stationary.

ExplainerWhat causes a 3 phase motor to single phase?
It is well known that a three-phase induction motor will continue to operate when a disturbance of some sort causes the voltages supplied to the motor to become single phased. Single phasing can occur as a result of a fuse blowing or a protective device opening on one phase of the motor.
Salahddine Tzscheutschler
ExplainerWhat is 3phase induction motor?
The stator of an induction motor consists of a number of overlapping windings offset by an electrical angle of 120°. When the primary winding or stator is connected to a three phase alternating current supply, it establishes a rotating magnetic field which rotates at a synchronous speed.

ExplainerWhat is the torque of a motor?
The driving force of an electric motor is torque - not horsepower. The torque is the twisting force that makes the motor running and the torque is active from 0% to 100% operating speed.

ExplainerHow do brushless motors work?
A brushed DC motor has permanent magnets on the outside of its structure, with a spinning armature on the inside. In brushless DC motors, the permanent magnets are on the rotor, and the electromagnets are on the stator. A computer then charges the electromagnets in the stator to rotate the rotor a full 360-degrees.

Permanent magnet AC motors (PMAC) are just like standard induction AC motors except they have permanent, rare-earth magnets attached to their rotors (the center part of the motor that spins). Having these permanent magnets instead of electromagnets reduces energy losses in the motor.
