DC

MOTOR
Introduction
• The Dc machines are of two types namely DC
generators and DC motors.
• A DC generators converts mechanical energy into
electrical energy whereas a DC motor converts
the electrical energy into mechanical energy.
• In order to understand the operating principle of a
DC motor, it is necessary to understand how does
a current carrying conductor experience a force,
when kept in a magnetic field.
Windings in DC Machine
• In any dc machines, there are two windings:
1. Field winding 2. Armature winding
• Out of these, the field winding is stationary which
does not move at all and armature winding is
mounted on a shaft. So it can rotate freely.
• Connection of windings for operation as motor:
 To operate the dc machine as a motor, the field
winding and armature winding is connected
across a dc power supply.
DC Motor
• Principle of operation:
 When current carrying conductor is placed in a
magnetic field, it experienced a force.
 In case of DC motor, the magnetic field us
developed by the field current i.e. current
flowing in field winding and armature winding
plays the role of current carrying conductor
 So armature winding experienced a force and
start rotating.
Construction of DC Motor

Fig.(1): construction of DC motor


• Important parts of DC motor:
1. Yoke 4. Armature
2. Field winding 5. Commutator, brushes & gear
3. poles 6. Brushes

4. Yoke:
 It acts as the outer support of a DC motor.
 It provides mechanical support for the poles.
2. Poles:
 pole of a dc motor is an electromagnet.
 The field winding is wound over the poles.
 Poles produces magnetic flux when the filed winding is
excited.
3. Field winding:
 The coils wound around the pole are called field coils and
they are connected in series with each other to form field
winding.
 When current passing through the field winding, magnetic
flux produced in the air gap between pole and armature.
4. Armature:
 Armature is a cylindrical drum mounted on shaft in which
number of slots are provided.
 Armature conductors are placed in these slots.
 Theses armature conductors are interconnected to form the
armature winding.
5. Commutator:
 A commutator is a cylindrical drum mounted on the shaft
alonwith the armature core.
 It collects the current from the armature conductors and passed
it to the external load via brushes.
6. Brushes:
 Commutator is rotating. So it is not possible to
connect the load directly to it.
 Hence current is conducted from the armature
to the external load by the carbon brushes
which are held against the surface of
commutator by springs.
Back EMF
• When the armature winding of a dc motor starts
rotating in the magnetic flux produced by the field
winding, it cuts the lines of magnetic flux.
• Hence according to the faraday’s laws of
electromagnetic induction, there will be an induced
emf in the armature winding.
• As per the Lenz’s law, this induced emf acts in
opposite direction to the armature supply voltage.
Hence this emf is called as the back emf and denoted
by Eb.
• Significance of back emf:
 The presence of back e.m.f. makes the d.c. motor a
self -regulating machine i.e., it makes the motor to
draw as much armature current as is just sufficient to
develop the torque required by the load.
1. When the motor is running on no load, small torque
is required to overcome the friction and windage
losses. Therefore, the armature current Ia is small and
the back e.m.f. is nearly equal to the applied voltage.
2. If the motor is suddenly loaded, the first effect is to
cause the armature to slow down. Therefore, the speed
at which the armature conductors move through the field
is reduced and hence the back e.m.f. Eb falls. The
decreased back e.m.f. allows a larger current to flow
through the armature and larger current means increased
driving torque. Thus, the driving torque increases as the
motor slows down. The motor will stop slowing down
when the armature current is just sufficient to produce
the increased torque required by the load.
3. If the load on the motor is decreased, the driving torque
is momentarily in excess of the requirement so that
armature is accelerated. As the armature speed increases,
the back e.m.f. Eb also increases and causes the armature
current Ia to decrease. The motor will stop accelerating
when the armature current is just sufficient to produce
the reduced torque required by the load. It follows,
therefore, that back e.m.f. in a d.c. motor regulates the
flow of armature current i.e., it automatically changes the
armature current to meet the Load requirement.
Voltage Equation of a DC Motor

Fig.(1):Equivalent circuit of DC motor


• As shown in fig.(1), the armature supply voltage
V has to overcome the opposition posed by the
back emf Eb and some other voltage drops such
as brush drop and the voltage drop across Ra.
• From fig.(1), we can write that,
V = Eb + I a R a + V b …….(1)
• But voltage drop across brushes is negligible.
∴ V = Eb + Ia Ra ……(2)
Types of DC Motors
• Depending on the way of connecting the
armature and field windings of a d.c. motors
are classified as follows:
DC Motor

DC series Shunt motor Compound Separately

Short shunt Long shunt


compound compound
DC Shunt Motor
• In DC shunt type motor, field and armature
winding are connected in parallel as shown in fig.
(1), and this combination is connected across a
common dc power supply.
• The resistance of shunt field winding (Rsh) is
always much higher than that of armature winding
(Ra).
• This is because the number of turns for the field
winding is more than that of armature winding.
• The field current Ish always remains constant. Since
V and Rsh both are constant. Hence flux produced
also remains constant. Because field current is
responsible for generation of flux.
∴ ø ∝ Ish
• This is why the shunt motor is also called as the
constant flux motors.
Fig.(1):DC shunt motor schematic diagram
DC Series Motor
• In DC series motor, the armature and field windings are
connected din series with each other as shown in fig.(1).
• The resistance of the series field winding (R s) is much
smaller as compared to that of the armature resistance (R a).

• The flux produced is proportional to the field current. But


in series motor, the field current is same as armature
current.
∴ ø ∝ Ia or
∴ ø ∝ Is
• The armature current Ia and hence field current
Is will be dependent on the load.
• Hence in DC series motor the flux does not
remains constant.

DC Compound Motor
1. Long Shunt Compound Motor:
• As shown in fig.(1), in long shunt dc motor, shunt field
winding is connected across the series combination of the
armature and series field winding.
2. Short Shunt Compound Motor:
• In short shunt compound motor, armature and field windings
are connected in parallel with each other and this
combination is connected din series with the series filed
winding. This is shown in fig.(2).
 The long shunt and short shunt compound motors are further
classified as cumulative and differential compound motors

Torque & Speed Equations
• Torque equations:
 Torque produced by a motor will always be proportional to the air gap flux
ø and the current flowing through the armature winding (Ia).
 That means T ∝ ø Ia
 The flux is produced by the field current hence ø will be proportional to
field current. That means,
ø ∝ Ifield
 hence torque produced by a dc motor is proportional to the product of I a
and Ifield. That means,
T ∝ Ia Ifield ………..(1)

 For various types of dc motors the expression for field current will be
different. We will substitute them into eq.(1) to get the torque equations .
1. Torque equation of DC shunt motor:
 For DC shunt motor Ifield = V/ R sh = constant
 Hence the flux ø is constant.
∴ T ∝ Ia ……..(2)
 Hence in dc shunt motor, torque is proportional to only to the armature
current.
2. Torque equation DC series motor:
 For DC series motor, the field current is equal to the armature current
i.e. Ifield = Ia.
 Hence T ∝ Ia Ia
∴ T ∝ Ia2 ………(3)
 Hence in dc series motor, torque is proportional to the square of
armature current.
• Speed Equations:
 We know that the expression for the back emf is,

 But P, Z and 60A are constants. Therefore we can write that,


Eb ∝ ø N ……(4)
 Therefore the speed can be expressed as,
N ∝ Eb/ ø …….(5)
N = k E b/ ø ………(6)
 But V = Eb + Ia Ra
∴ Eb = V - Ia Ra ………..(7)
 Substituting eq.(7) into eq.(5) we get,
N ∝ (V - Ia Ra) / ø …….(8)
 Since ø ∝ Ifield , we can write,
N ∝ (V - Ia Ra) / Ifield …….(9)
1. DC shunt motor:
 For dc shunt motor, the flux ø is constant.
∴ N ∝ (V - Ia Ra) …..(10)
2. DC series motor:
 For dc series motor Ifield = Ia. Therefore
N ∝ (V - Ia Ra - Is Rs) / Ia …….(11)
where Eb = V - Ia Ra - Is Rs

load, which leads to an unstable operation.

applications
