Guys,
In terms of motors you hear rotor and stator thrown around all the time. Can someone properly define rotor and stator and the difference between the two?
Motors can be confusing.... or not.
A stator is the name for the windings in a motor that are stationary and coupled to the power input of the motor. Just think stationary.
A rotor is the name for the windings of a motor that rotate, being physically coupled to the motor shaft. Just think rotating.
Think "stationary windings" and "rotating windings". Motor technology can get way more involved.
