Theory
DC Motor:
The principle of conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy by
electromagnetic means was demonstrated by the British scientist Michael Faraday in
1821 and consisted of a free-hanging wire dipping into a pool of mercury. A
permanent magnet was placed in the middle of the pool of mercury. When a current
was passed through the wire, the wire rotated around the magnet, showing that the
current gave rise to a circular magnetic field around the wire. The DC motors are very
useful where wide range of speed and good speed regulation is required.

Figure 1
Direct current machines are energy transfer devices. These machines can function as
either a motor or a generator. DC motors and generators have the same basic
construction, differing primarily in the energy conversion.
To better understand the operation and construction of DC machines, a few basic
terms and purpose of each of the following components of a DC machine.
1. Armature: The purpose of the armature is to provide the energy conversion in a
DC machine. In a DC generator, the armature is rotated by an external mechanical
force, such as a steam turbine. This rotation induces a voltage and current flow in the
armature. Thus, the armature converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. In a DC
motor, the armature receives voltage from an outside electrical source and converts
electrical energy into mechanical energy in the form of torque.
2. Rotor: The purpose of the rotor is to provide the rotating element in a DC machine.
In a DC generator, the rotor is the component that is rotated by an external force. In a
DC motor, the rotor is the component that turns a piece of equipment. In both types of
DC machines, the rotor is the armature.

3. Stator: The stator is the part of a motor or generator that is stationary. In DC
machines, the purpose of the stator is to provide the magnetic field. The stator is
provided by a permanent magnet.

Figure 3
4. Field: The purpose of the field in a DC machine is to provide a magnetic field for
producing either a voltage (generator) or a torque (motor). The field in a DC machine
is produced by either a permanent magnet or an electromagnet. Normally,
electromagnets are used because they have an increased magnetic strength, and the
magnetic strength is more easily varied using external devices. In Figure 4 and 5 the
field is provided by the stator.
Brush and Brush holder:
The brushes whose function is to collect current from commutator, and usually made
of carbon or graphite and are in the shape of a rectangular block. These brushes are
housed in brush holders usually of the box type variety. As shown in fig. the brush-
holders are mounted on a spindle and the brushes can slide in the rectangular box
open at both ends. The brushes are made to bear down on the commutator by a spring
whose tension can be adjusted by changing the position of lever in the notches.

Figure 4
Frame:
Frame is the stationary part of a machine on which the main poles and commutator
poles are bolted and it forms the supporting structure by connecting the frame to the
bed plate. The ring shaped body portion of the frames which makes the magnetic path
for the magnetic fluxes from the main poles and inters poles is called Yoke.
In early days Yoke was made up of cast iron but now it is replaced by cast steel. This
is because cast iron is saturated by a flux density of 0.8 Wb/sq.m where as saturation
with cast iron steel is about 1.5 Wb/[Link] for the same magnetic flux density the
cross section area needed for cast steel is less than cast iron hence the weight of the
machine too. If we use cast iron there may be chances of blow holes in it while
casting. so now rolled steels are developed and these have consistent magnetic and
mechanical properties.

Figure 5
Principle of DC Machine:
It is based on the principle that when a current-carrying conductor is placed in a
magnetic field, it experiences a mechanical force whose direction is given by
Fleming's Left-hand rule and whose magnitude is given by
Force, F = B I L Newton
Where, B is the magnetic field in weber/m2,

Nvis Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 9

NV7023

I is the current in amperes and

L is the length of the coil in meter.
The force, current and the magnetic field are all in different directions. Poles of a
magnet, an upward force will move one wire up and a downward force will move the
other wire down. So the wire does not get twisted. This arrangement also makes sure
that at the current always passes down on the right and back on the left so that the
rotation continues. This if electric current flows through two copper wires that are
between this how a simple electric motor is made.
A DC machine can operate as a motor or as a generator. This kind of machine is
usually realized as an internal rotor/external-pole machine. The ring-coat-shaped
housing of the machine is also used as a magnetic yoke for the magnetic field through
the armature and poles. The excitation winding (field winding) is located directly on
the main poles of the stator. A current that flows in this winding generates the main
field. Since the machine is operated with DC current the magnetic field in the stator is
constant and so all iron parts of the stator can be made of massive material. Never the
less the main poles and the commutating poles are often laminated because of easier
manufacture. Modern DC machines, used in closed-loop controlled drives, with a fast
change in armature current and main field consist of one completely laminated
magnetic circuit. A massive iron construction would strongly in sequence the
dynamics and the efficiency of the machine due to the appearance of eddy currents.
The rotating part of the machine holds on its shaft the armature with the commutator.
Since the alternating flux flows through the armature, iron parts must be built from
laminated mutually insulated and slotted magnetic steel sheets. The coils of the
armature winding are placed in the slots; their ends are connected to the commutator
segments. The current is fed into the commutator by carbon brushes. As the rotor
revolves, conductors revolve with it. The brushes contact the commutator segments.
Operating behavior of the DC machine:
In sequence this result in a constant direction of the armature held due to the
commutation. The magnetic flux of the armature is ideally vertical to the direction of
the main held. Due to this coagulation there is no induced voltage at the turn
connected to brushes. This area is called the neutral zone. When the load of the
machine increases, the armature held is no more collectible and causes a shift of the
neutral zone because of the superposition of main field and Armature field: The main
field is distorted and (because of the effects of saturation) weakened. This
interference between the main field and the armature cross field, which causes a loss
of torque, can be reduced using a compensating winding in the stator of the DC
machine. The conductors of this compensating winding are arranged in axial slots of
the main pole. The compensating winding is connected in series to the armature, so
that the total magnetic flux under one pole with compensating conductors and
armature conductors create no magnetic field transverse to the main pole. The shift of
the neutral zone also causes brush are because commutation doesn't take place in the
neutral zone anymore: the windings carry an induced voltage greater than zero when
short-circuited by the commutator.

Nvis Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 10

NV7023

Figure 6
This results in faster deterioration of the commutator. Large machines are therefore
equipped with additional commutating poles. Their coils are connected in series to the
armature winding. The commutating poles generate a counter field in the area of the
short-circuited armature conductor in such a way that voltages induced by this field
compensate the ones resulting from the commutation of the armature currents, so that
a commutating free of sparks is achieved.
Torque of DC motor:
When a current carrying current is placed in the magnetic field a force is exerted or it
exerts turning movement or torque Fr. This torque is produced due to
electromagnetic effect hence is called electromagnetic torque.
Since,
V= Eb + Ia Ra
Multiplying both side by Ia, we get
V Ia = Eb Ia + Ia2 Ra
i.e., Total electrical power = Mechanical power developed.
Supplied to the armature by the armature = Losses due to armature resistance.
So, we can say that
Pm = Mechanical power developed by the armature = Fb Ia
Also the mechanical power rotating armature can be given in terms of torque T and
speed n.
i.e., Pm = 2 nT
Where, n in rps, T in Newton meter.
Hence, 2 nT = Eb Ia
or T = Eb Ia / 2 n
but Eb = ZNP/60A, where N, speed in rpm.
or N/60 = n speed in rps.
Eb = Zn P/A
So torque, T = (ZP/2 A)Ia

Nvis Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 11

NV7023

For a particular DC motor, the no of poles (P); no of conductor per parallel path.(Z/A)
are constant.
T = K Ia, where K=ZP/2 A
Thus we conclude that torque produced in the armature is directly proportional to flux
per pole and armature current, moreover, the direction of electromagnetic torque
developed in the armature depends upon the current in armature conductors. If either
of the two is reversed the direction of torque produced is reversed and hence the
direction of rotation. But when both are reversed and direction of torque does not
change.
DC motor classification:
DC motor can be classified into two ways on the basis of their field execution as:.
Separately exited DC motor:
The conventional diagram of separately excited DC motor is shown in figure 7, its
voltage equation will be;
Eb = V-Ia Ra - 2Vb

Separately Excited DC Motors Figure 7

A DC motor whose field winding is supplied current from an external DC source.
Self Excited DC Motor:
A DC motor whose field winding is supplied current by the motor itself is called self
exited DC motor. Self excited DC motors can be divided into three classes, designated
according to the method of connecting the armature and the field windings as:
Shunt-Wound Motors:
This type of motor runs practically a constant speed, regardless of the load. It is the
type generally used in commercial practice and is usually recommended where
starting conditions are not usually severs. Speed of the shunt-wound motors may be
regulated in two ways: first, by inserting resistance in series with the armature, thus
decreasing speed: and second, by inserting resistance in the field circuit, the speed
will vary with each change in load: in the latter, the speed is practically constant for
any setting of the controller. This latter is the most generally used for adjustable-speed
service, as in the case of machine tools. The shunt motor is probably the most
common DC motor used in industry today. Components of the shunt motor are the
armature, labeled A1 and A2, and the field, labeled F1 and F2. The coils in the shunt
field are composed of many turns of small wire, resulting in low shunt field current

Nvis Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 12

NV7023

and moderate armature current. This motor provides starting torque that varies with
the load applied and good speed regulation by controlling the shunt field voltage. If
the shunt motor loses it’s field it will accelerate slightly until EMF rises to a value
sufficient to shut off the torque producing current. In other words, the shunt motor
will not destroy itself if it loses its field, but it won’t have the torque required to do
the job it was designed for.

Shunt Wound DC Motor Figure 8

Some of the common uses of the shunt motor are machine shop lathes, and industry
process lines where speed and tension control are critical.
Important relations in DC Shunt Wound Motor is
Ish = V/ Rsh
Ia = I L- Ish
Eb = V- Ia Ra - 2Vb
Series -Wound Motors:
This type of motor speed varies automatically with the load, increasing as the load
decreases. Use of series motor is generally limited to case where a heavy power
demand is necessary to bring the machine up to speed, as in the case of certain
elevator and hoist installations, for steel cars, etc. Series-wound motors should never
be used where the motor can be started without load, since they will race to a
dangerous degree. Components of a series motor include the armature, labeled A1 and
A2, and the field, S1 and S2. The same current is impressed upon the armature and
the series field. The coils in the series field are made of a few turns of large gauge
wire, to facilitate large current flow. This provides high starting torque, approximately
2¼ times the rated load torque. Series motor armatures are usually lap wound.

Series- Wound Motors Figure 9

Nvis Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 13

NV7023

Common uses of the series motor include crane hoists, where large heavy loads will
be raised and lowered and bridge and trolley drives on large overhead cranes. The
series motor provides the starting torque required for moving large loads.
Compound-Wound DC Motors:
A combination of the shunt wound and series wound types combines the
characteristics of both. Characteristics may be varied by varying the combination of
the two windings. These motors are generally used where severe starting conditions
are met and constant speed is required at the same time.
When comparing the advantages of the series and shunt motors, the series motor has
greater torque capabilities while the shunt motor has more constant and controllable
speed over various loads. These two desirable characteristics can be found in the same
motor by placing both a series field and shunt field winding on the same pole. Thus,
we have the compound motor.
The compound motor responds better to heavy load changes than a shunt motor
because of the increased current through the series field coils. This boosts the field
strength, providing added torque and speeds. Common uses of the compound motor
include elevators, air compressors, conveyors, presses and shears. Compound motors
can be operated as shunt motors by disconnecting the series field. Many
manufacturing process lines are designed this way.

Compound Wound DC Motor

Figure 10
The reason being that, most of the shelf motors are compound motors, and the series
field can always be connected later to provide additional torque, if needed. Compound
motors can be connected two ways, cumulatively and differentially. When connected
cumulatively, the series field is connected to aid the shunt field, providing faster
response than a straight shunt motor. When connected differentially, the series field
opposes the shunt field. Differentially connected compound motors are sometimes
referred to as “suicide motors,” because of their penchant for self destruction. If
perhaps, the shunt field circuit were to suddenly open during loading, the series field
would then assume control and the polarity of all fields would reverse. This results in
the motor stopping, and then restarting in the opposite direction. It then operates as an
unloaded series motor and will destroy itself. Differentially connected motors can also
start in the opposite direction if the load is too heavy. Therefore, it is seldom used in
industry.

Figure 11
Speed Control of DC Motor:
Speed of the DC motor is given by the relation:
N = V – IA RA / Ф
Where,
N = Speed of the DC motor.
V = Applied voltage in DC motor.
Ф = Flux per pole of DC motor.
IA = Armature current in DC motor.
RA = Armature resistance of DC motor.
From the above equation it is clear that the speed of DC motor can be controlled:
 By varying flux per pole this is known as flux or field control method.
 By varying the armature drop that is by varying the resistance of the armature
circuit this is known as armature controlled method.
 By varying the applied voltage this is known as voltage controlled method.
1. Field Control Method :
The flux produced by the shunt winding depend upon the current flowing through
it, when a variable resistance is connected in series with the field winding the
shunt field current is reduced and hence the flux consequently the motor run at the
speed higher than the normal speed. The amount of increase in speed depends of
the variable resistance. This method is more economical as very little power is
wasted in the shunt field variable resistance due to relatively small current.
2. Armature Control Method :
In a shunt motor flux is constant when the applied voltage and shunt field
resistance are constant therefore the speed of the motor is directly proportional to
the induced emf the value of induced emf depend upon the drop in armature

Nvis Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 15

NV7023

circuit when additional resistance is connected in series with the armature circuit
induced emf is reduced and hence the speed thus the motor runs at a speed lesser
than the normal speed. This method is not economical as large power is wasted in
the control resistance since it carries full armature current.
3. Voltage Controlled Method :
In this motor the voltage across the motor can be changed by connecting them in
series or in parallel. This is widely used in electric traction. When the motor are
connected in series low speed are obtained and when they are connected in
parallel high speed (nearly 4 times to that of the first case) are obtained.
Advantages:
The greatest advantage of DC motors may be speed control. Since speed is directly
proportional to armature voltage and inversely proportional to the magnetic flux
produced by the poles, adjusting the armature voltage and/or the field current will
change the rotor speed. Today, adjustable frequency drives can provide precise speed
control for AC motors, but they do so at the expense of power quality, as the solid-
state switching devices in the drives produce a rich harmonic spectrum. The DC
motor has no adverse effects on power quality.
Drawbacks:
1. Power supply, initial cost, and maintenance requirements are the negatives
associated with DC motors.
2. Rectification must be provided for any DC motors supplied from the grid. It can
also cause power quality problems.
3. The construction of a DC motor is considerably more complicated and
expensive than that of an AC motor, primarily due to the commutator, brushes,
and armature windings. An induction motor requires no commutator or brushes,
and most use cast squirrel-cage rotor bars instead of true windings, two huge
simplifications.
4. Maintenance of the brush / commutator assembly is significant compared to that
of induction motor designs.
5. In spite of the drawbacks, DC motors are in wide use, particularly in niche
applications like cars and small appliances.
Application:
1. Industrial applications use DC motors because the speed-torque relationship can be
varied to almost any useful form-- for both DC motor and regeneration applications
in either direction of rotation. Continuous operation of DC motors is commonly
available over a speed range of 8:1. Infinite range (smooth control down to zero
speed) for short durations or reduced load is also common.
2. DC motors are often applied where they momentarily deliver three or more times
their rated torque. In emergency situations, DC motors can supply over five times
rated torque without stalling (power supply permitting).
3. Dynamic braking (DC motor-generated energy is fed to a resistor grid) or
regenerative braking (DC motor-generated energy is fed back into the DC motor

Nvis Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 16

NV7023

supply) can be obtained with DC motors on applications requiring quick stops, thus
eliminating the need for, or reducing the size of a mechanical brake.
4. DC motors feature a speed, which can be controlled smoothly down to zero,
immediately followed by acceleration in the opposite direction--without power
circuit switching and DC motors respond quickly to changes in control signals due
to the DC motor's high ratio of torque to inertia.
5. The DC machine is used as a motor when there is a demand for a continue
regulation of rotational speed. Although there is a disadvantage due to the fact that
brushes are not without friction, it requires considerably less cost for the supply
equipment, which makes the DC machines sometimes more economical than three-
phase drives. The Application areas of a DC machine are electric rolling mill
drives, conveyor drives or machine tools. In the last application, the machine is
excited with permanent magnets instead of using electrical excitation in order to
reduce the size of construction and losses in the excitation circuit. The DC
generator is used as a Leonard generator, as an excitation machine for synchronous
generators or as permanent excited tachometer generator.
Selection of DC Motor:
Choosing DC motor and associated equipment for a given application requires
consideration of several factors.
 Speed Range :
If field control is to be used, and a large speed range is required, the base speed must
be proportionately lower and the motor size must be larger. If speed range is much
over 3:1, armature voltage control should be considered for at least part of the range.
Very wide dynamic speed range can be obtained with armature voltage control.
However, below about 60% of base speed, the motor should be DC rated or used for
only short periods.
 Speed Variation with Torque :
Applications requiring constant speed at all torque demands should use a shunt-
wound DC motor. If speed change with load must be minimized, a DC motor
regulator, such as one employing feedback from a tachometer, must be used. When
the DC motor speed must decrease as the load increases, compound or series-wound
DC motors may be used or a DC motor power supply with a drooping volt-ampere
curve could be used with a shunt-wound DC motor.
 Reversing :
This operation affects power supply and control, and may affect the DC motor's brush
adjustment, if the DC motor cannot be stopped for switching before reverse operation.
In this case, compound and stabilizing DC motor windings should not be used, and a
suitable armature-voltage control system should supply power to the DC motor.
 Duty cycle :
Direct current motors are seldom used on drives that run continuously at one speed
and load. Motor size needed may be determined by either the peak torque requirement
or heating.

Nvis Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 17

NV7023

 Peak torque :
The peak torque that a DC motor delivers, is limited by that load at which damaging
commutation begins. DC motor brush and commutator damage depends on sparking
severity and duration. Therefore, the DC motor's peak torque depends on the duration
and frequency of occurrence of the overload. DC motor peak torque is often limited
by the maximum current that the power supply can deliver.
 Heating :
DC motor temperature is a function of ventilation and electrical/mechanical losses in
the machine. Some DC motors feature losses, such as core, shunt-field, and brush-
friction losses, which are independent of load, but vary with speed and excitation.
The best method to predict a given DC motor's operating temperature is to use
thermal capability curves available from the DC motor manufacturer. If curves are not
available, DC motor temperature can be estimated by the power - loss method. This
method requires total losses versus load curve or an efficiency curve.
For each portion of the duty cycle, power loss is obtained and multiplied by the
duration of that portion of the cycle. The summation of these products divided by the
total cycle time gives the DC motor's average power loss. The ratio of this value to the
power loss at the motor rating is multiplied by the DC motor's rated temperature rise
to give the approximate temperature rise of the DC motor when operated on that duty
cycle.

NOTE:
While performing load test it is to be noted that the armature current of the
machine should not exceed to below specified permissible current given in
tabular form for different machines rating or else machine windings may heat
up and finally get damage.
