Electric Motors

Classification of Electric Motors


DC Motor

 Direct current machines (DC) are most often


used for a motor. DC motors have excellent
control characteristic for speed and torque.
DC motors are often used in power stations to
drive emergency stand-up pump systems.
 Which come into operation to protect
essential equipment and plant should the
normal a.c. supplies or pumps fail.
However, their application is limited to
mills, mines and trains. As examples,
trolleys and underground subway cars may
use dc motors.
 An electrical motor consists of a cylindrical rotor that spins inside a
stator.

Principle of Operation
 D.C motors converts electrical energy (DC) into
mechanical energy. Its construction is similar to DC
generator.

 A DC motor works on the principle that “whenever a


current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic
field, it experiences a force”.
Current carrying loop in a
magnetic field
 The magnetic force is given by:

F=BIL
 Where: F = Force in Newton
B = Flux density in Weber/meter2
I = Current in amperes flowing through the
conductor
L = Length of the conductor in meters
 The direction of force is given by Fleming’s left hand
rule.

Example

Armature of a dc motor has a resistance of 1 ohm and the


machine generates 50V at 500 rpm.
If the armature is connected to a voltage source of V=150V
a) What is the starting current
b) What is the back emf when the motor rotates at 1000
rpm.
Example

A six-pole, lap-wound motor is connected to a 250v


dc supply. The armature has 500 conductors and a
resistance of 1 ohm. The flux per pole is 20m Wb.
Calculate:

(a) The speed

(b) The torque developed when the armature current is


40 Apm.
(a) Back e,m,f: E = V - Ia Ra= 250 – (40 x 1) = 210v

so, N = 1260 rpm

(b) Torque = 63.66 N.m


Example

A 6 pole dc motor is rotating at 600 rpm.


The armature has 90 slots and 4 turns per
coil. The flux per pole is 0.04 Webers.
Determine the back emf.

 In the shunt wound motor the field


winding is in parallel with the armature
across the supply.

 Example 2:

A 230 v, 10 hp d.c. shunt motor delivers


power to a load at 1200 r/min. the armature
current drawn by the motor is 200 Amp. The
armature circuit resistance of the motor is
0.2 ohm and field resistance is 115 ohm. If
the rotational losses are 500 W, what is the
value of the load torque?
 The back e.m.f induced in the armature is:
E = V – Ia Ra = 230 – (0.2 x 200) = 190v
 Power developed (in the rotor), Pdev = Eb Ia =38000 W

 Power delivered to the load, P0 = Pload


= Pdev – Prot = Pout = 38000 – 500 = 37500 W

 Since speed: w = 2πN/60 = 2πx 1200/60 = 40 π rad/sec


 Where N is the speed in revolutions per minute (r/min),
the torque supplied to the load can be calculated as:
 Load torque, T0 = P0 / w = 298.4 N.m
Series - Wound Motor
 In the series wound motor the field winding is
in series with the armature across the supply.

 Example 3:
A series connected Dc motor has an armature
resistance of 0.5 ohm and field winding
resistance of 1.5 ohm. In driving a certain
load at 1200 rpm, the current drawn by the
motor is 20 Amp from a voltage source of VT =
220 v. The rotational loss is 150 W.
Find the output power and efficiency.
 Induced voltage: E = V – Ia (Ra + Rs) = 180v
 Power developed (in the rotor):
Pdev = Eb Ia = 180 x 20 = 3600 W
 Power delivered to the load:
P0 = Pdev – Prot = 3600 – 150 = 3450 W

 The total input power:

Pin = VT Ia = 220 x 20 = 4400 W

 Therefore, efficiency can be calculated as:


Ƞ = (P0 / Pin ) x 100% = 78.41%
