An electric motor is a device that works on the simple principle of converting electrical energy into mechanical energy.  Electric motors are of two types: the AC (Alternate Current) type and DC (Direct Current) motor. The power source for all motors is electric current and the difference between the two types of motors is the mode of power supply - direct or alternate. A motor uses an electromagnet for movement. Induction motors are brushless motors and are widely used in equipment like CD players, DVD players, Home theatres and Hard drives of computers, where efficiency is more important than the cost. They have the advantage of being easier to design, less harmful and have minimal wear and tear. Induction moors can be further sub divided into single phase and three phase power motors. The motors used in household products are single phase power, whereas the motors used for commercial, heavy duty machinery are three phase powered.

The important factors that should be kept in mind while selecting any type of motor is its compliance with the IEC standards. Many companies manufacture customised motors to run on varied voltages and speeds (rpm's).
