The classification of A.C motors is mainly showcased in 5 sections. They are:
Grouping as per speed
- Variable speed
- Adjustable speed
- Constant speed
Grouping as per asynchronous motors
- Commutator motors:
- Compensated
- Inductively
- Conductivity
- Series
- Universal
- Single phase
- Induction motors
- External resistance or Slip ring
- Squirrel cage
- Single
- Double
Grouping as per current type
- 3 phase
- Single phase
Grouping as per principle of operation
(Existing together)or Synchronousmotors
- Super
- Plain
Grouping as perstructural features
- Splash proof
- Riveted frame eye
- Fan cooled and totally enclosed
- Water proof
- Explosion proof
- Semi-enclosed
- Enclosed
