Back EMF in DC Motor

• When the current-carrying conductor placed in


a magnetic field, the torque induces on the
conductor, the torque rotates the conductor
which cuts the flux of the magnetic field.
According to the Electromagnetic Induction
Phenomenon “when the conductor cuts the
magnetic field, EMF induces in the conductor”.
The magnitude of the back emf is given by the
same expression shown below:
Speed Control of DC motors

• According to the speed equation of a dc motor


• N ∞ Eb/φ
• ∞ V- Ia Ra/ φ
• Thus speed can be controlled by:
• Flux control method: By Changing the flux by
controlling the current through the field winding.
• Armature control method: By Changing the armature
resistance which in turn changes the voltage applied
across the armature


Flux Control Method
• Advantages:
It provides relatively smooth and easy control
Speed control above rated speed is possible
As the field winding resistance is high the field current
is small. Power loss in the external resistance is small .
Hence this method is economical
• Disadvantages:

Flux can be increased only upto its rated value


High speed affects the commutation, motor operation
becomes unstable
Types
Types of DC Machines

Self-excited DC machine: when a machine supplies its own


excitation of the field windings. In this machine, residual
magnetism must be present in the ferromagnetic circuit of the
machine in order to start the self-excitation process.

Separately-excited DC machine: The field windings may be


separately excited from an eternal DC source.

Shunt Machine: armature and field circuits are connected in parallel.


Shunt generator can be separately-excited or self-excited.

Series Machine: armature and field circuits are connected in series.


Applications of DC Motors

Shunt Motor:
Blowers and fans
Centrifugal and reciprocating pumps
Lathe machines
Machine tools
Milling machines
Drilling machines

DC Generator
Principle-When a conductor moves in a
magnetic field it cuts magnetic lines of force,
which induces an electromagnetic force (EMF) in
the conductor.
