Electric motors are devices that turn electrical energy into usable mechanical energy. They achieve this by harnessing the mechanical force, or energy, produced during the interaction of an electrical current and a magnetic field. This electrical energy comes from alternating current (AC) or direct current (AC) charges from a power grid or battery. Read More…

AC Motors
An AC motor is an electric motor that uses alternating current to produce mechanical energy using magnetism blended with alternating current. The structure of an AC motor includes coils that produce a rotating...
DC Motors
A DC motor or direct current motor is an electrical machine that transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy by creating a magnetic field that is powered by direct current. When a DC motor is powered, a magnetic field is created...
Electric Motors
An electric motor is an electric machine that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. Most electric motors work via the interaction of the motor magnetic field and electrical current in a wound wire to...
Fractional Horsepower Motors
A fractional horsepower motor is an alternating (AC) or direct (DC) current motor that produces less than one horsepower with an output rating of 746 watts or less. The low power level of fractional horsepower motors makes them...
High Voltage Power Supply
A high voltage supply is a power conversion unit that converts low voltage potential to a higher voltage potential with output voltages of 1kV to 360kV with a typical range of 62kV up to 500kV. They can operate with input from...
NEMA Connectors
A NEMA connector is a method for connecting electronic devices to power outlets. They can carry alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC). AC current is the typical current found in homes, offices, stores, or businesses...
