Electric motors convert electrical power into linear or rotary motion. They are often powered by DC, AC or a combination of both. Motors are most efficient between 60 and 100 percent of their full-rated load. Running them below that range results in lower efficiency and shorter motor life. Electric motors are used in a wide variety of applications from fans and pumps to machine tools and household appliances. They also play a key role in regenerative braking with electric locomotives.
