An AC motor is an electric motor that uses electromagnetic induction to transform electrical energy into mechanical energy. It is powered by alternating current (AC). It is made up of a rotor that rotates because of a revolving magnetic field produced by coils in a stator. Synchronous and induction are the two primary types of AC motors. Induction motors are durable and commonly used because they work asynchronously, with the rotor speed being slower than the stator's magnetic field. Conversely, synchronous motors provide precise speed control for certain applications by running at the same speed as the stator's magnetic field.. These AC motors serve induction motors and synchronous motors type; they are available with power ratings of 500 – 900 kW, 900 – 1,200 kW, 1,200 – 5,000 kW, 5,000 – 9,000 kW, 9,000 – 12,000 kW, 12,000 – 15,000 kW, 15,000 – 25,000 kW, above 25,000 kW; and are used by steels & metals, mining, oil & gas, water & wastewater treatment, power, marine and shipbuilding, petrochemicals, automotive manufacturing and others. The regional scope considered for the AC motors market study covers Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, South America, and the Middle East & Africa.
