Motor Type

Motor Types are AC Motor and DC Motor. The AC Motor is converted the alternating current (AC) into mechanical power (e.g., Induction motor, Synchronous motor, and Linear motor). The DC Motor uses the direct current (DC) to mechanical power directly by creating a magnetic field that is powered by direct current. The DC Motor is approximately 30% more efficient than AC motor since the DC Motor does not have to induce current to create magnetic fields.
