• DC Motors –
• simple control & reliable;
• Easy adjustable speed
• Good speed regulation
Applications : Paper mills, mine winders, traction duties,
excavators, textile mills, ....
Fractional HP dc motors – as servo drive for position
controlling and tracking applications;
Classification – separately and self excited – shunt, series
and compound motors
DC Separately Excited Motor

• The loop voltage equation is

Field Excitation (If α φ) is constant

DC SHUNT MOTOR
• The speed (ωm) is expressed as,

• Where K = K = constant
• Drop in speed is 5%
• armature reaction ;
• armature resistance;
DC Series Motor

• In series motor (unsaturated magnetization char.) ,

• Flux( ) α armature current(Ia); i.e.,
• Torque of the motor can be expressed as,
• The speed of series motor :

• Application – high starting and running torque ;

Overloading is restricted
DC Compound Motor
Induction Motors
• Induction Motors
• Constant speed applications
• Availability of Power Electronic Devices
• Variable speed Drives
• Squirrel cage
• Rugged, cheaper, lighter, smaller
• More efficient, lower maintenance
• Can be operated in dirty and explosive environments
 Synchronous Machines

• Earlier, constant speed applications

• Development of Solid state Variable Frequency Sources – inverters,
cycloconverters- variable speed
• Synchronous Machines types :
• Cylindrical wound rotor syn. Motor – (MW Range)
• Salient pole syn. Motor – (MW Range)
• Permanent Magnet Syn. Motor – (kW Range)
Synchronous Motor
• Synchronous Motor
• Stator with three phase winding fed from AC source
• DC field winding

• Cylindrical – high power high speed

• Salient Pole
• For medium and small size motors, Permanent Magnet(PM) Used.
PMSM – Surface mounted, Interior
 Types of Mechanical Loads
Torque
• independent of speed
• Square of Speed
• Inversely Proportional to Speed
