How it works?
AC motor VS DC motor
AC (Alternative Current) motor connects directly to a power source where it creates the moment of force required to rotate the motor’s rotor.
As for DC (Direct Current) motor, the direct (AC) power source will be connected to a transformer which converts the power to DC. The effect will decrease the amount of power used by a direct current instead of the alternating current. The motor’s rotor will then be rotated by using a system of magnets of opposing polarity where this process requires less electrical energy.
DC Motor is more compact & half the size of AC motor

Advantages of a DC motor:
- Uses less energy – up to 55% compared AC motor
- Quiet operation
- More compact and lighter motor polarity where this process requires less electrical energy.
