For the same power rating,which motor is bigger in size,AC or DC?

Answer Posted / sunny

AC motor will be of bigger size because of the alternating nature of current to reduce eddy currents core is laminated & also the outer frame has given a shape for max. surface area to dissipate heat.

why do you add the load short circuit impedance when considering short circuit amperage. It seems that you should only consider supply. If you need to consider loads and you don't know what loads are to be added , what would be a good sub-transient reactance rating for the loads?
