What is the principle of an automotive electric motor?
1 Answers
Automotive electric motor principle: An electric motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. It utilizes energized coils (i.e., stator windings) to generate a rotating magnetic field that acts on the rotor (such as a squirrel-cage closed aluminum frame) to form an electromagnetic rotational torque. Motors are classified into DC motors and AC motors based on the power source used. Most motors in power systems are AC motors, which can be either synchronous or asynchronous motors. The motor mainly consists of a stator and a rotor. The direction of force exerted on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field is related to both the current direction and the magnetic field lines (magnetic field direction).
