Electric motors, ac motors and dc motors, come in many shapes and sizes. Some are standardized electric motors
for general-purpose applications. In any case, electric motors should be selected to satisfy the dynamic
requirements of the machines on which they are applied without exceeding
rated electric motor. Thus, the first and most important step in electric motor
selection
is determining load
characteristics -- torque and speed versus time. Electric motor selection is also based on mission goals, power available, and cost. Finalized electrical energy converted
into mechanical energy
