Introduction
A motor is a class of electrical machines that converts electrical power to
mechanical power
A DC motor uses direct current for conversion of electrical energy to
mechanical energy
It is also known as Permanent magnet direct current (PMDC) machine
Stator consist of a pair of fixed permanent magnets producing a uniform and
stationary magnetic flux inside the motor and hence the name of
“permanent-magnet direct-current” (PMDC) motors
Operating principle of DC motor
When a current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field it
experiences a force/torque and has a tendency to move
This is known as motoring action
The magnitude of the force is given by F=ilB
B:magnetic field, i:current,l:length of conductor
If the direction of current in the wire is reversed, the direction of
rotation also reverses
Figure 2
When magnetic field and electric field interact they produce a
mechanical force

The equivalent circuit diagram of dc motor
The mathematical expression of voltage is given by:
Vdc = IaRa+ Ea (Using KVL)
Ia: armature current
Ra: armature resistance
Figure 4 Vdc: dc supply voltage
Ea : back emf
Why speed control of DC Motor is necessary
The speed of the motor should never be more than rated speed
Textile industries require a variable speed for their operation
Therefore it is necessary to control the speed of the motor by changing the
magnetic flux
Figure 6
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
This is an effective method to control the o/p voltage with constant frequency
This is a modulation of pulses by varying the duty cycle
Duty cycle (α) is a ratio of Ton /(Ton +Toff )
Figure 7
The width of pulses (T) determines the amount of avg. voltage applied to motor
terminals.
Height of pulse gives Average voltage
PWM Generation
There are two ways to generate pulse width modulation with
variable duty cycle
Using analog electronics
(operational amplifier, comparator and saw tooth generator)
Using digital electronics
(microprocessor and dedicated PWM controller)
Figure 8
Benefit of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
Power efficiency : The power efficiency is very high
Speed control behaviour : A precise speed control is achieved
Control circuit: Since it uses electronic components it is compact
Harmonics: It reduces the harmonics of output
