Rotational speed dependent motor properties
The coils of alternating current (AC) motors experience back electromotive force (EMF) at high rotational speeds, which acts against applied voltage and drops motor efficiency steeply. By reducing the magnetic flux surrounding the coil of the stator, back EMF can be reduced and motor efficiency can …
