    (permanent split capacitor) and

    (electronically commutated motors) that are in your

    to distribute air throughout your home. There is one type of PSC motor that possibly can be adjusted by the installer to a certain speed so that it can compensate for static pressure in the duct work. Static pressure will restrict distribution of air. There are two types of

    of the electricity it uses into actually

    . However, they are simple in design only using a

    . When there is a lot of static pressure in the duct work the PSC motor will have a hard time

    the air throughout your home because it will be

    . They can be set to a specific speed at

    to make sure they are near compensating for the duct works static pressure. The PSC’s rotor and stator operate

    “. Not operating at a constant torque and not being able to have control of itself is why they are not efficient motors.

    ECM motors are better motors than the PSC because for starters they are brushless in design. ECM motors can operate at a

    (for high-end equipment). The mid-range constant torque motor if need to account for static pressure in the ducts will deliver

    that the system needs (like a light dimmer that controls itself). Paired with a variable speed compressor, your air conditioning system will be
