<<Module No. 6>>
<< MOTOR >>

This module is intended to have you learners of third year BSME to be familiar with the
characteristics of electric motor.

At the end of this module, you are expected to:


1. define what is motor.
2. describe the principle of operation of motors.
3. identify the major components or parts of motor.

WHAT IS MOTOR ?

Electric motors have been an important element of our industrial and commercial
economy for over a century. Most of the industrial machines in use today are driven by
electric motors. Industries would cease to function without properly designed, installed,
and maintained motor control systems. In general, motors are classified according to the
type of power used (AC or DC) and the motor’s principle of operation. The “family tree”
of motor (figure 6.1) types is quite extensive. (Petruzella, 2010)
Motor is a rotating electrical machine that converts electrical energy into
mechanical energy. Here are the principles of motor action:

1. It requires the presence of magnetic lines of force and

2. current through conductors lying in the magnetic field before

3. force, and therefore torque, is produced.
