Question 382Electricity & Electronics - QMED
70% to passUniversal motors will operate on AC or DC current. In what application is this type of motor generally?
Aforced draft fans
Blarge pump motors
Cportable tools
Dturbo-electric main motors
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) portable tools. Universal motors are able to operate on both AC and DC current, making them well-suited for portable tools and appliances that may need to be used in a variety of electrical environments. These motors are lightweight, compact, and provide high starting torque, which is ideal for power tools, handheld vacuums, and other portable equipment. The other answer choices are not the typical applications for universal motors. Forced draft fans (A), large pump motors (B), and turbo-electric main motors (D) generally require more powerful and efficient motor types, such as induction motors or synchronous motors, that are optimized for their specific industrial applications.
