5-DC Motors

5. Uses of DC motor

Definition5.1. Independent excitation

This engine is characterized by a constant speed. It is most often used in independent excitation, with speed regulation.

Definition5.2. Serial excitation motor

This engine has a very high starting torque, it is suitable for all electric traction applications, however, it presents risks of runaway empty.

A-Series connection

A series DC motor connects the armature and field windings in series with a common D.C. power source.

A series motor should never be started at no load.

Series motors called universal motors can be used on alternating current.

B-Shunt connection

A shunt DC motor connects the armature and field windings in parallel or shunt with a common D.C. power source. T

C-Compound connection

A compound DC motor connects the armature and fields windings in a shunt and a series combination to give it characteristics of both a shunt and a series DC motor.A-
