Excerpt:

Electric motors, whether designed to operate on ac, dc, or both types of current, come in numerous shapes and sizes. All electric motors have one goal in common: to convert electrical energy into mechanical motion. Whether the application uses a general-purpose standardized electric motor or a motor intended for a specific task, the selection process must satisfy the dynamic requirement of the machine on which it’s applied without exceeding the motor’s rated temperature.
