A synchronous and synchronous motors are the two main categories of ac motors. The induction motor is a common form of asynchronous motor and is basically an ac transformer with a rotating secondary.

How the switched reluctance motor's (SRM) architecture eliminates the need for magnets and rotor windings. Why SRMs are some of the most rugged and cost-effective motor technologies available. A look ...

The basic operating principles of SynRM machines. The advantages SynRM machines offer over switched reluctance motors. How the latest advances in SynRM design are steadily improving the motors’ ...
