| Constant | Description | 
| DC | A motor using either generated or rectified Direct Current (DC) power. | 
| INDUCTION | An alternating current motor in which the primary winding on one member (usually the stator) is connected to the power source and a secondary winding or a squirrel-cage secondary winding on the other member (usually the rotor) carries the induced current. There is no physical electrical connection to the secondary winding, its current is induced. | 
| POLYPHASE | A two or three-phase induction motor in which the windings, one for each phase, are evenly divided by the same number of electrical degrees. | 
| RELUCTANCESYNCHRONOUS | A synchronous motor with a special rotor design which directly lines the rotor up with the rotating magnetic field of the stator, allowing for no slip under load. | 
| SYNCHRONOUS | A motor that operates at a constant speed up to full load. The rotor speed is equal to the speed of the rotating magnetic field of the stator; there is no slip. | 
| USERDEFINED | User-defined type. | 
| NOTDEFINED | Undefined type. |
