Advantages & Disadvantages

Advantages
its simplicity -- only one moving part, the rotor
low-cost due to the absence of brushes, commutators, and slip rings
quiet

long-lasting

relatively trouble/maintainance free

they are robust and can operate in any environmental condition

can be operated in polluted and explosive environments as they do not

have brushes which can cause sparks

--- compared to DC motors: DC motors have a commutator and carbon
brushes that wear out and need replacing from time to time. The friction

between the brushes and the commutator also makes DC motors relatively
noisy and smelly.
Disadvantages
speed depends on the frequency of the alternating current that drives it
it turns at a constant speed unless you use a variable-frequency drive
heavy and bulky because of their coil windings. Unlike DC motors

can't be driven from batteries or any other source of DC power without

using an inverter (because they need a changing magnetic field to

turn the rotor)
always operate under lagging power factor and during light load
conditions they operate at very worst power factor (0.2 to 0.4 lagging).
Some of the disadvantages of poor power are increase in I2R losses
in the system, reduction in the efficiency of the system. Hence some
power factor correction equipments such as static capacitor banks
should be placed near to these motors to deliver the reactive power to
them.

---compared to DC motors: the speed of DC motors is much easier to
control simply by turning the supply voltage up or down.
