I-AC (alternating current) kanye ne-DC (direct current) motors yizinhlobo ezimbili ezivamile zamamotho kagesi asetshenziswa ezinhlelweni ezahlukene. Nakuba zombili izinhlobo zamamotho zisebenzisa inhloso efanayo yokuguqula amandla kagesi zibe amandla omshini, zisebenza ngezimiso ezihlukene futhi zinezici ezihlukile.
Omunye umehluko omkhulu phakathi kwe-AC kanye ne-DC motors usehlotsheni lwamanje olusetshenziswayo. Amamotho e-AC aklanyelwe ukusebenza kuma-alternating current, okusho ukuthi isiqondiso sezinguquko zamanje ngezikhathi ezithile. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ama-DC motors anikezwa amandla amanje aqondile, lapho ukugeleza kweshaja kagesi ku-unidirectional.
Omunye umehluko obalulekile yindlela insimu kazibuthe ekhiqizwa ngayo kumamotho. Kumamotho e-AC, inkambu kazibuthe ikhiqizwa amandla ashintshayo ageleza kuma-windings e-stator, aheha inkambu kazibuthe ezungezayo. Le nkundla kazibuthe ejikelezayo ixhumana ne-rotor ukukhiqiza ukunyakaza. Ngokuphambene, amamotho e-DC ancike kukazibuthe unomphela noma inkambu ka-electromagnetic edalwe amandla aqondile ukuze akhiqize amandla kazibuthe adingekayo wokuzungezisa.
Indlela yokulawula isivinini nayo iyahluka phakathi kwamamotho e-AC kanye ne-DC. Amamotho e-AC ngokuvamile ancike ekulawulweni kwemvamisa ukulungisa isivinini, okubandakanya ukushintsha imvamisa yamandla okokufaka. Ngokuphambene, ama-DC motors anikeza ukulawula kwejubane okuqonde kakhudlwana ngokusebenzisa ukukhohliswa kokufaka kwamandla kagesi.
Izidingo ezisebenza kahle kanye nokunakekelwa yizici ezengeziwe ezihlukanisa amamotho e-AC nawe-DC. Amamotho e-AC ngokuvamile asebenza kahle kakhulu futhi adinga ukulungiswa okuncane ngenxa yokungabikho kwamabhulashi nabagibeli, okuyizingxenye ezivamile kumamotho e-DC. Kodwa-ke, ama-DC motors aziwa ngobulula nokulula kokulawula isivinini.
Kafushane, umehluko oyinhloko phakathi kwamamotho e-AC nawe-DC usuka ohlotsheni lwamanje alisebenzisayo, indlela yokukhiqiza inkundla kazibuthe, izindlela zokulawula isivinini, kanye nezidingo zawo ezifanele kanye nokugcinwa kwazo. Ukuqonda lo mehluko kubalulekile ekukhetheni injini efaneleke kakhulu kuma-specs, njengoba uhlobo ngalunye lunezinzuzo nemikhawulo yalo.
