Your question is imprecise and unclear. I'm assuming you are asking about AC

Yeah, sorry about that. I know there's a ton of info so I should
shave it down a bit. AC motors 10hp and smaller. Mostly the stuff
found in tools rather than tape decks.

Thanks. Very helpful.
One question for now: What is power factor correction? I've found
