A is the mechanical heart of most North American household cooling systems. Designed to run on standard residential power, these motors convert electrical energy into the rotational force needed to spin fan blades and move air. ⚙️ How It Works These motors operate on the principle of electromagnetism .

: Fixed copper coils (the stator) receive 120V AC power, creating a rapidly changing magnetic field.

Depending on the application, manufacturers use different motor designs: This common electric motor is SUPER easy to fix

: This field induces a current in the rotating part (the rotor), often a "squirrel cage" design.

: The "60Hz" means the current alternates 60 times per second, which directly dictates the motor's synchronous speed. 🛠️ Common Motor Types
