DC Power Supply to AC Gear Motor

AI Thread Summary
Running an AC gear motor directly from a DC power supply is not feasible, as AC motors require alternating current to operate. The gear motor's nameplate provides essential information, including the necessary voltage and power specifications. Users should consider using an inverter to convert DC to AC if they want to power the motor from a DC source. It's crucial to ensure that the inverter matches the motor's requirements for optimal performance. Understanding these specifications is key to successfully operating AC gear motors.

Hey! I am trying to figure out the best way to run a AC gear motor off a DC power supply. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
The AC gearmotor is powered by "Alternating Current". A DC power supply does not supply this. So, the gearmotor cannot be powered by the power supply. Read the nameplate on the gearmotor. It should specify the voltage and power (in watts or in amperes) necessary for its operation.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
