Question:

Tell me about AC Motor.............?

It is possible AC motor run on DC supply.What can i do to run a AC motor on DC Supply

Answer:

Cannot run directly on DC supply or motor burns into smoke within a few seconds. Only one way to run it... DC ---> DC to AC converter -----> AC motor
only universal motor will run on both AC and DC. to run any other (non-DC) motor on DC, you need an inverter.
It depends what type of AC motor you have. There is one type called a universal motor which can be run on either AC or DC. You just have to get the voltage level right for whichever case. They have commutators and are commonly used in vacuum cleaners and electric drills.
Universal Motor; The stator and rotor windings of the motor are connected in series through the rotor commutator. Therefore the universal motor is also known as an AC series motor or an AC commutator motor. The universal motor can be controlled either as a phase-angle drive or as a chopper drive. Substitutes another field winding for DC motor’s permanent magnets Can be driven by AC or DC (hence universal) High construction complexity Low reliability Low efficiency Poor EMI (brushes create sparks and ozone) Driven by rheostat, chopper or phase angle (SCR or Triac) controllers Some degree of sensorless speed control possible Good power to weight ratio
Unless it is a universal motor, NO. Generally, you would need an inverter.
