Home › FAQ › What Are Electronically Commutated Motors?
Electronically Commutated motors are brushless DC motors where the direction of the electric current is switched using electronic controllers. As the switching of the current is technically known as ‘commutating’, brushless motors are also called ‘electronically commutated’ motors. EC motors provide the advantages of brushed DC motors in terms of the ability to have variable speed control, but without the drawbacks of brushes.
