    Title: DC Machines

    Host: HYTEC POWER INC

    Speaker: Engr. Joyce Allan A. Guingab, REE

    During in our webinar we discussed the topic is all about DC motor.


    We disccusse about parts of dc motors overview we focus about the
    appilication of the dc motors.

    In DC motors we have discussed commutator film that acts lubricant between


    the carbon brush because of its friction and natural forces not manufacturaly
    made, it have rotation friction that develops and requires humidity.

    Commutator acts a lubrication between the carbon brush and the commutator
    which is commutator film. Commutator film size I about an inch of a thick thats
    how a commutator film as thin as it is.
    And we also have Normal commutator film and have 3 types of film:

     Light film - Uniform tan to charcoal-brown film of copper oxide indicates


    that the machine is operating properly.
     Medium film - Coppper oxide film may show faint streaks on machine
    that are running properly
     Heavy film - Uniform heavy film coating may not be cause for alarm, if
    there are no unusually dark or worn areas.

    We also talk about Carbon brush dimenstion how to measure a carbon brush
    is to consider the width,length and thickness. There are things that should be
    considered when dealing with carbon brush we have a standard that needs to
    follow:
     Brush neutral - there no induced voltage within the armature film, for ideal
    commutation , the brush should short the armature leads at lowest
    possible induced voltage.
    We also talk about the importand thing to consider when doing brush neutral:
     Brush neutral should be checked or adjusted any time the commutator
    end bracket is removed from DC machine
     Fully seat the brushes before attempting to set neutral. Failure to do so
    will result in an incorrect neutral position with increased arcing as the load
    increases.
    We also talk about how to set neutral when causes of increase in arcing we
    means that it did not set in nuetral correctly.
    Important notice at brush neutral - for machines equipped with a series
    winding (compound machines), it has to be in series and the armature leads
    are not connected together when setting neutral. Feedback from the series to
    the interpoles will otherwise result in an incorrect neutral position.
    We also talk about the procedure how to set a brush neutral.
     Using kick DC inductive method connects a DC voltage source to shunt
    fields leads using an analog voltmeter to measure DC voltage
    momentarily applied. Observed the needle deflection both when the voltage
    is applied and when it is removed. The needle deflection should be the
    same in each case
     AC Inductive Method same thing procedure as Dc inductive method but
    this time it should be digital
    We also talk about the factors affecting brush neutral:
     Unequal brush spacing around commutator -taught us how to check
    brush spacing around commutator that it must be 1,2mm average it
    should not be more than 1,2mm spacing
    But not all motor designs have equally space brush
     Brush not fully seated- carbon brush should be fully seated before fully
    neutral during the course of time the carbon brush becomes weary.
    -Spacing problem of field poles or interpoles-it one that must be consider in
    doing servicing of a DC motor.
     Brush Neutral verification- how to verify that neutral is correct. In DC we
    can counter the speed when we change the rotation of the DC motor.
