All Types of Electric Motor Symbol and Diagram

Hi, in this article we are going to see all types of electric motor symbols and diagrams. An electric motor is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. There are huge applications of electric motors in our daily lives for domestic purposes as well as industrial, travel, lifting, etc. Basically, an electric motor has a stator part and a movable or rotating part. When the power supply to the electric motor its movable part starts rotating.

Let's see symbols of all types of electric motors.

Electric Motor Symbol

Here, you can see the generic symbol of motor that is used in most of the circuit diagrams, wiring diagrams, etc.

AC Motor Symbol

AC motors are those that operate with alternating power supply or AC. These types of motors depend upon the supply voltage and frequency of the power supply. Here, you can see the symbol of AC Motor.

DC Motor Symbol

DC Motors are those that operate with direct current or DC power supply. These motors depend upon the voltage of the power supply, there is no frequency concept. Here, you can see the symbol of DC Motor.

Single Phase Motor Symbol

Single-phase motors are those which work with 110V, 220V, or 240V single-phase AC supply. Single-phase motors are not self-starting, so they have two windings. That is why, here you can see in the symbol of single-phase motor, four terminals are there for two windings.

Three(3) Phase Motor symbol

Here, you can see the symbol of three-phase motor. It has three terminals R, Y, B

Induction Motor Symbol

Here, you can see the symbol of Induction Motor
