INDUSTRIAL MOTORS EEP

2. Working Principles of Industrial Motors

Electric motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy through the interaction of magnetic fields. Below is a clear and concise explanation of how electric motors work, focusing on the roles of their key components and the principles behind their operation. I'll build on the components you previously outlined (stator, rotor, bearings, windings, commutator) and cover the general process, applicable to both AC and DC motors, with distinctions where relevant.
