Thanks for the info, Jeff. As far as what a integral-horsepower motor is, I am under the impression it can be the same thing as a polyphase motor - but I am not positive of that. If it si the case, then a DC brushless couldn't be that, since it is AC.
I do not have the motors in front of me...
I am seeking a good reference on motors that is clear and in plain english. Specfically, I have three questions:
Can a brushless dc motor be a commutator motor?
Can a brushless dc motor be an impedance-protected motor, a fractional-horsepower motor, or an integral horsepower motor?
And, more...
