Pathway to Electrification

Electric Motors

AC Motors
DC Motors
  • Power directly from DC power source
  • Two Varients
    • Brushes
      • The charge and polarity of brushes control the direction and speed
    • Brushless
      • Magnets mounted around the rotor
      • Specialize circuitry to control speed and direction
  • Advantages
    • Speed control
    • Produces high torque
    • Efficient
    • Fast response to load changes
    • Simple installation and maintenance
    • Suitable for small electronics (i.e. circuit boards, sensitive electronics)
    • Low electromagnetic interference
    • Cost-effective
    • Compact packaging
  • Disadvantages
    • Made up of multiple components
    • Single phase
    • High torque low speed
    • Prone to overheating
  • Applications
    • Used in smaller electric vehciles i.e. forklifts
  • Energy created from the creation of a magnetic field
  • Uses alternating current
  • Two Varients
    • Synchronous
      • Motors rotation matches the supplied current
    • Induction (Most common)
      • Two electrical sub-assemblies, stator coils, and rotor
  • Advantages
    • Torque and speed control by altering the alternating current frequency
    • Efficient transmission of power along with large distances of wire
    • Variable current helps reduce overheating
    • High power output
    • Long lifespan and low chance of failure
    • Quiet
    • Smooth
    • Multiple phase varients
      • Single, three
    • Has the ability to direct power
      • Regen battery charging
  • Disadvantages
    • Slow responces to load changes
    • Requires invertor
  • Applications
    • Most commonly found in electric vehicles
    • High speed low torque
