The document discusses the history, construction, types, working principle, and merits and demerits of DC motors. It states that DC motors were first developed in the 1830s by Michael Faraday and work by converting electrical energy to mechanical energy using the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field. It describes the main components of a DC motor as the field poles, frame, armature, commutator, and brushes. It also outlines the different types of DC motors as shunt, series, and compound motors and explains their characteristics.

Brief History of DC Motor


The history of DC Motor can be traced back to the 1830s,when Michael Faraday did extensive works on disc type of machine

INTRODUCTION OF DC MOTOR
A DC Motor is a machine which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. It depends for its operation on the force which is known to exist on conductor carrying a current while situated in a magnetic field.

Construction of DC MOTOR
FIELD POLES- The pole shoe acts as a support to the field coils and spread out the flux in the air gap and reduce the reluctance of magnetic field. FRAME- The Frame is the stationary part of a machine in which poles, and rotor are stationed. ARMATURE- The armature consist of core and winding. It is built up of thin lamination of low loss silicon steel(0.4 to 0.5)

COMMUTATOR- A commutator converts alternating voltage to direct voltage. It is a cylindrical structure built up of segment made drawn copper. BRUSHES- The use of brushes is made for machines designed for large current at low voltage. ARMATURE WINDINGThe winding must be designated with the most advantages utilization of the material in respect to weight and efficiency

TYPES OF DC MOTOR
SHUNT MOTOR
Shunt Motor in which the field winding is connected in parallel with the armature

SERIES MOTOR- Series Motor in which the armature and field winding are connected in series

COMPOUND MOTOR- This type of motor has two field winding, one of which is c6nnected in parallel with the armature and other in series with it

Working Principle Of DC MOTOR


Whenever a current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, it experienced a force whose direction is given by Flemings Left Hand Rule. It shows the field set up by the poles It shows the conductor field due to flow of current in the conductor

MERITS
High starting torque Speed control over a wide range, both below and above normal speed Accurate seedless speed control Quick starting, stopping

DEMERITS
High initial cost Increased operating and maintenance cost because of the commutator and brush gear
