Induction vs. Universal motor
Recently, Sears has been emphasizing that their lighter duty air
compressors have universal motors. Is this a good thing? I've read that UMC motors allow extension cord use, provide higher startup torque and are lighter in weight. But, does all that come at the cost of long-term durability vs. an induction type motor? -- David dja--dot--mail--at--comcast--dot--net |
