Motor Can be Operated on Either Alternating
Current or Direct Current
The electric motor, which is built in Machines
101-4 and 101-12, can be operated on either direct
current or 25 to 75 cycle alternating current without
change of adjustment. The standard windings of
the motor are for 110-120 volts, but motors can also
be furnished for any voltage between 50 and 250.
Special motors for 32 volts direct current and
above 75 cycle alternating current have also been
developed and are available.
Points to Determine Before Connecting
Motor to Electric Service Line
Obtain the following information from the Electric
Light Company which supplies the electric current
for the circuit to which the motor is to be connected:
1. Whether alternating current or direct current
is used.
2. What is the voltage? The voltage must be
within the range stamped on the motor name plate
(B, Fig. 2, page 5).
3. If the electric service line is alternating current,
what is the number of cycles? The number of cycles
must be within the range stamped on the motor
name plate.
4. The current and voltage of the electric service
line and, if alternating current, the number of cycles,
can be verified by looking at the name plate on
electric meter installed by the local Electric Light
Company.
