Basic Training for Electrical Motors

The electric motor in its simplest terms is a converter of electrical energy
to useful mechanical energy. The electric motor has played a leading role
in the high productivity of modern industry, and it is therefore directly
responsible for the high standard of living being enjoyed throughout the
industrialized world.
The beginnings of the electric motor are shrouded in mystery, but this
much seems clear: The basic principles of electromagnetic induction were
discovered in the early 1800’s by Oersted, Gauss and Faraday, and this
combination of Scandinavian, German and English thought gave us the
fundamentals for the electric motor. In the late 1800’s the actual invention
