A question about universal motor

We all know that universal motors run on both AC and DC power sources.

now if a universal motor requires 12 V DC to work, then what would be the corresponding AC voltage input for the same machine. ?

is there any empirical relationship between the sources ?

    Search in google with ee lamar universal motor, you will be directed to a PDF where in you can check few details.

    As far as I know there is no empirical formula defined for DC and AC.
    But what works in DC , I think we need to have more voltage in case of ac to compensate the series impedance of the universal motor.

    PS. The above link doesnt work, but when i search with above combination,I get the same pdf as the results!!

    PPS. Updated the link.
