(if question asked for 2 marks classification flowchart will do and for 5 marks
draw and explain each types of DC Motor)
Separately Excited Machines: - In a separately excited machine, the field winding
is provided with a separate de source to supply the field current.

Self-excited Machines: - In case of self-excited DC machines, no separate source is


provided to drive the field current
Self-excited machines are further classified into three types, depending upon the
method in which the field winding is connected to the armature.
Shunt-wound Machines: - In this type of dc machines, field winding is connected
in parallel with the armature.

Series-wound Machines:- In this type of machines, the field winding is connected
in series with the armature.

Compound-wound Machines:- In this both the shunt and series field windings. The
compound machines are further classified into long shunt and short shunt

Slip Ring in Three-Phase Induction Motor

A slip ring is a mechanical device used in wound rotor three-phase induction


motors to transfer current between the stationary and rotating parts of the motor. It
consists of metallic rings mounted on the motor shaft, connected to the rotor
windings.

Purpose:

1. External Resistance Control: Slip rings allow external resistances to be


connected to the rotor circuit to control starting torque and reduce starting
current.
2. Speed Control: By varying resistance, the motor's speed can be adjusted.

Once the motor reaches normal speed, the external circuit is disconnected, and the
slip rings may be shorted.

This enhances motor performance, particularly during starting and speed regulation.

DC Motor: Construction and Operation

Construction of DC Motor

10
A DC motor consists of the following essential parts:

1. Stator (Field System):


The stationary part of the motor, providing the magnetic field. It includes:
o Field Windings: Coils that carry current to generate a magnetic field.
o Magnetic Poles: Permanent magnets or electromagnets that produce the field.
2. Rotor (Armature):
The rotating part that carries the armature winding.
3. Commutator:
A mechanical rectifier that ensures the current flows in the armature in one direction.
4. Brushes:
Carbon or graphite components that conduct current between the stationary and rotating
parts of the motor.
5. Shaft:
A central part that transfers mechanical power.
6. Yoke:
Provides structural support and acts as a protective casing.

Working Principle of DC Motor

The operation of a DC motor is based on Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction and the
Lorentz Force Law.

1. Electromagnetic Force:
When a current-carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a
mechanical force. The direction of this force is given by the Fleming’s Left-Hand Rule.
2. Torque Generation:
Current through the armature winding interacts with the magnetic field, creating torque
that rotates the rotor.

Operation of DC Motor
11
1. Input Power:
A DC power source is connected to the armature winding through the brushes and
commutator.
2. Magnetic Interaction:
The current through the armature creates a magnetic field. This interacts with the stator's
magnetic field, resulting in a force on the armature conductors.
3. Rotation:
The commutator reverses the current direction in the winding, ensuring continuous
rotation in one direction.
4. Output Power:
The mechanical output from the shaft is used to perform work.

Brushless DC Motor (BLDC Motor)


Definition:
 A Brushless DC Motor (BLDC Motor) is a type of DC motor that operates
using an electronic commutator instead of a mechanical one.
 Unlike traditional DC motors, BLDC motors do not have brushes or
mechanical commutators. Instead, they use an electronic commutator with
transistors or thyristors to control commutation.
Construction:
 A BLDC motor consists of the following components:
 Stator: Multiphase windings are wound on a non-silent stator.
 Rotor: A rotor with a permanent magnet.
Working Principle:
 Voltage (direct or alternating) is applied to individual phase windings through
sequential switching.
 This switching operation generates the required commutation to rotate the
motor.
 The switching process is managed electronically using suitable power
transistors or thyristors.
