DC MOTOR
A DC motor or Direct

Current Motor converts

electrical energy into
mechanical energy.
A direct current (DC) motor is a fairly simple

electric motor that uses electricity and a

magnetic fieldto produce torque, which turns
the rotor and hence give mechanical work.

PRINCIPLE OF DC MOTORS
In any electric motor,

operation is based on simple

electromagnetism.
When acurrent-carrying

conductor is placed in an
external magnetic field, it
will experience a force i.e.
Lorentz force.
Due to this force torque is

produced which rotates the

rotor of motor and hence a
motor runs.

CONSTRUCTION
DC motor consist of 2

windings
1. Field winding.
2. Armature winding.
Field winding is stationary

and armature winding can

rotate freely.
Field windings when given
DC supply, magnetic field is
produced.
Armature winding when
connected to DC source,
shaft connected to it rotates

WORKING OF DC MOTORS

TYPES OF DC MOTORS
DC motor are of 3 types they

are..
1. DC SHUNT MOTOR
2. DC SERIES MOTOR
3. DC COMPOUND

MOTOR

1.

DC SHUNT MOTOR

The parallel combination of

two windings is connected

across a common dc power
supply.
The resistance of shunt field
winding (Rsh) is always
higher than that is armature
winding.
This is because the number
of turns for the field winding
is more than that of
armature winding.
The cross-sectional area of
the wire used for field

Armatur
e

2.

DC SERIES MOTOR

The field winding is

connected in series with the

armature.
The current passing through
the series winding is same
as the armature current .
Therefore the series field
winding has fewer turns of
thick wire than the shunt
field winding.
Also therefore the field
winding will posses a low
resistance then the armature
winding.

I.

LONG SHUNT COMPOUND MOTOR

In this the series winding

is connected in series
with the armature
winding and the shunt
winding is connected in
parallel with the
armature connection.

II. SHORT SHUNT COMPUND MOTOR

In short shunt compound

motor the series winding

is connected in series to
the parallel combination of
armature and the shunt
winding
This is done to get good
starting torque and
constant speed
characteristics.

a) CUMULATIVE COMPOUND DC
MOTORS
If the two field windings i.e. series

and shunt are wounded in such a

way that the fluxes produced by
them add or assist each other

b) DIFFERENTIAL COMPOUND DC
MOTORS
If the two field winding
i.e. series
and shunt are wounded in such a
way that the fluxes produced by
them always try to oppose and try
to cancel each other.
