A motor refers to an electromagnetic device that converts or transmits electrical energy based on the law of electromagnetic induction. Its main function is to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Next, let’s briefly introduce the main classification of motors.
The main categories of motors
1. According to the type of working power supply, it can be classified into DC motor and AC motor.
2. According to the structure and working principle, they can be classified into DC motors, asynchronous motors, and synchronous motors.
3. According to the starting and running modes, they can be classified into capacitor-started single-phase asynchronous motors, capacitor-run single-phase asynchronous motors, capacitor-start-run single-phase asynchronous motors, and split-phase single-phase asynchronous motors.
4. According to their uses, they can be classified into driving motors and control motors.
5. According to the structure of the rotor, it can be classified into cage induction motor and wound rotor induction motor.
6. According to the operating speed, it can be classified into high-speed motors, low-speed motors, constant-speed motors, and speed-adjustable motors.
