The dc motors are widely used in various applications like variable-speed drives, constant-speed drives, and many more. For selecting a type dc motor for a particular application it is very important to study the character…
In a dc machine, the given input energy will be not equal to output energy i.e., the output energy will be always less than the input energy, thereby reducing the efficiency. The whole electrical input is not available at t…
At starting when a rated voltage is applied across the stationary armature terminals of the dc motor, it draws more current comparatively greater than rated current. When such heavy currents pass through the armature windin…
In the last article, we have seen the phenomenon of armature reaction in a dc generator . There are various effects in the dc generator due to armature reaction. Due to the demagnetizing effect of armature flux on the field…
In the last article, we have seen the working principle of dc generator and how we obtained the dc voltage at the output terminal. Now let us see the armature reaction of a dc generator. What is Armature Reaction ? …
When the field winding of a dc generator is excited, a flux with uniform distribution in the air-gap of the dc generator is produced. Once the generator is loaded, load current flows through the armature conductors and set …
Basically, there is no difference in the construction of a dc motor and dc generator. A dc motor gives a mechanical output with input as a dc supply while the dc generator gives dc electrical output with mechanical input. S…
Generally, the starting torque of induction motors is reasonably not much high. In case of a slip-ring induction motor, the starting torque can be increased by adding external resistance in the rotor circuit. But, we cannot…
A stepper motor is an electromechanical device that converts a train of input pulses into a train of step movements. In the recent two articles, we have seen about permanent magnet and variable reluctance stepper motors. …
