2. Universal motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_motor

   The universal motor is a type of electric motor that can operate on either AC or DC power and uses an electromagnet as its stator to create its magnetic field. [1] It is a commutated series-wound motor where the stator 's field coils are connected in series with the rotor windings through a commutator .

3. Electric motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor

   Universal motors formed the basis of the traditional railway traction motor in electric railways. In this application, using AC power on a motor designed to run on DC would experience efficiency losses due to eddy current heating of their magnetic components, particularly the motor field pole-pieces that, for DC, would have used solid (un ...

4. Timeline of the electric motor - Wikipedia

   Hungarian, physicist and unsung father of the dynamo and electric motor; invented the first commutated rotary electromechanical machine with electromagnets. [ 3 ] [ 5 ] He invented the commutator . In 1828, Jedlik demonstrated the first device to contain the three main components of practical DC motors: the stator , rotor and commutator.

5. Commutator (electric) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutator_(electric)

   Commutators are used in direct current (DC) machines: dynamos (DC generators) and many DC motors as well as universal motors. In a motor the commutator applies electric current to the windings. By reversing the current direction in the rotating windings each half turn, a steady rotating force is produced.

6. Brushless DC electric motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brushless_DC_electric_motor

   A brushless DC electric motor (BLDC), also known as an electronically commutated motor, is a synchronous motor using a direct current (DC) electric power supply. It uses an electronic controller to switch DC currents to the motor windings producing magnetic fields that effectively rotate in space and which the permanent magnet rotor follows.

7. AC motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_motor

   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. The rotor magnetic field ...
