A Guide to household motors.

BLOG    |    2024-11-01

If a noisy and energy-hungry motor is mistakenly selected in a household device, it will first affect the comfort, experience and quality of life of the home. Secondly, it will significantly increase the cost of electricity bills, bringing additional financial burden. Therefore, it is imperative to switch to low-noise, energy-efficient motors.

Low-noise, energy-efficient motors can significantly reduce household noise and energy costs on the one hand, while at the same time providing reliable performance, improving safety and extending service life.

Read this article in detail, you will understand the working principle of electric motors, their types, their use in home equipment, and the specific information of BGMotor's customized home equipment motor services. In addition, we will discuss whether to repair or replace the motor and how to extend its lifespan.


What is an electric motor?

An electric motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. It operates on the principle of electromagnetism, where electric current flows through a coil, creating a magnetic field that spins a rotor. This mechanical movement powers various household appliances, from fans to vacuum cleaners, making our daily lives easier. Understanding electric motors is essential, as they play a crucial role in the functionality and efficiency of our home devices.


Types of electric motors

1. Classification according to power supply type:8L9A2698.jpg

Electric motors can be broadly categorized into several types, with the most common being DC motors and AC motors. 

--DC motors are powered by direct current and are known for their high efficiency and precise speed control. They are widely used in battery-operated devices like cordless drills and electric toothbrushes.

  • Brushed DC Motor: Uses mechanical brushes and commutators, commonly found in toys and small appliances.

  • Brushless DC Motor (BLDC Motor): It uses electronic commutation and has high efficiency, and is widely used in power tools, electric vehicles, etc.

--AC motors are powered by alternating current and are typically used in household appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and washing machines. They come in various designs, including induction motors and synchronous motors.8L9A2706.jpg

  • Induction Motors: The most common AC motors, including single-phase and three-phase induction motors, are widely used in industrial and household appliances.

  • Synchronous Motor: The rotational speed is synchronized with the grid frequency, which is suitable for applications where precise speed control is required

2. Classification by structure type

  • Asynchronous Motor: The rotor has a different velocity from the magnetic field and is usually an induction motor.

  • Synchronous Motor: The rotor rotates synchronously with the magnetic field, making it suitable for high-precision applications.

  • Stepper Motor: Step-by-step rotation for applications that require precise positioning, such as printers and robots.

  • Servo Motor: With closed-loop control, it is suitable for applications that require high accuracy and high response speed.


What are the main applications for motors in your home?

There are many types of motors used in household equipment, and here are some common household devices and the types of motors they use:

  • Refrigerators: Compressor motors, usually AC motors, are used to compress and circulate the refrigerant.

  • Washing machine: Usually equipped with a DC motor or AC motor to drive the drum for washing and dewatering.

  • Vacuum cleaner: Uses a high-efficiency DC motor that provides powerful suction power and low noise.

  • Air conditioner: Equipped with multiple motors, including a compressor motor and a fan motor, usually an AC motor.

  • Microwave oven: Equipped with a small motor inside to turn the tray, usually an AC motor.

  • Kitchen appliances, such as blenders, juicers, etc., usually use high-efficiency DC motors or BLDC motors to provide precise speed control.

  • Fan: Uses an AC motor to provide ventilation and cooling.

  • Power tools: such as electric drills, chainsaws, etc., usually use DC motors to get higher speed and torque.

  • These motors play a key role in household equipment, improving the performance and convenience of the equipment. Choosing a high-efficiency, low-noise motor can improve the home environment and reduce energy consumption.

All of the above are real cases of BG, and you can check the specific information in the product application field.

Should you repair your motor?

When faced with a malfunctioning motor, you may wonder whether to repair it. Factors to consider include the motor's age, the cost of repairs, and the availability of replacement parts. If the motor is relatively new and the repair cost is low, fixing it might be a wise choice. However, for older motors with high repair costs, replacement may be more cost-effective in the long run. Analyzing these factors will help you make an informed decision.
