Lab No. 3

This document discusses different types of DC machines based on their winding configurations. It describes separately excited DC machines which have independent field and armature windings powered by separate sources. It also describes self-excited DC machines where the field winding is connected in series, parallel, or a combination to the armature winding, including shunt wound, series wound, and compound wound machines. Shunt wound machines have constant speed operation while series wound machines have variable speed depending on load. Compound wound machines combine characteristics of shunt and series wound machines.

Terminal designation, circuit diagram and

connection types of DC machine.

 Separately Excited DC Machine


As the name indicates, in case of a separately excited DC motor the supply
is given separately to the field and armature windings. The main
distinguishing fact in these types of DC motor is that, the armature current
does not flow through the field windings, as the field winding is energized
from a separate external source of DC current as shown in the figure

 Self Excited DC Machine


In case of self excited DC motor, the field winding is connected either in
series or in parallel or partly in series, partly in parallel to the armature
winding. Based on this, self excited DC Motors can be classified as:

1. Shunt wound DC machine


2. Series wound DC machine
3. Compound wound DC machine
 Shunt Wound DC Machine
In case of a shunt wound DC motor or
more specifically shunt wound self excited
DC motor, the field windings are exposed
to the entire terminal voltage as they are
connected in parallel to the armature.
The shunt wound DC motor is a constant
speed motor, as the speed does not vary
here with the variation of mechanical load
on the output.

Series Wound DC Machine


In case of a series wound self-excited DC
motor or simply series wound DC motor, the
entire armature current flows through the
field winding as its connected in series to the
armature winding.
In a series wound DC motor, the speed varies
with load. And operation wise this is its main
difference from a shunt wound DC motor.

 Compound Wound DC Machine


The compound excitation characteristic in a DC motor can be obtained by
combining the operational characteristic of both the shunt and series
excited DC motor.
 Short Shunt DC Machine

If the shunt field winding is only parallel to the armature winding and not
the series field winding then its known as short shunt DC motor or more

specifically short shunt type compound wound DC motor.

 Long Shunt DC Machine

If the shunt field winding is parallel to both the armature winding and the
series field winding then it’s known as long shunt type compounded
wound DC motor or simply long shunt DC motor.
 Universal machine
A universal motor is a special type of motor which is designed to run on either DC or single
phase AC supply. These motors are generally series wound (armature and field winding are
in series), and hence produce high starting torque. That is why, universal motors generally
comes built into the device they are meant to drive. Most of the universal motors are designed
to operate at higher speeds, exceeding 3500 RPM. They run at lower speed on AC supply
than they run on DC supply of same voltage, due to the reactance voltage drop which is
present in AC and not in DC
