Starting of DC Motors: At the time of Starting of DC Motors (n = 0), the induced emf of a motor is zero such that the current drawn from rated voltage supply would be for…
Speed Torque Characteristics of DC Series Motor: To find the Speed Torque Characteristics of DC Series Motor, let us analysis the figure 7.43 shows the connection diagram of a dc series motor. The speed for…
Characteristics of DC Motors | Characteristics of Shunt Motor: The power of the dc motor lies in its versatility and ease with which a variety of speed-torque characteristics can be obtained, and the wide range…
External Characteristics of Compound Generator: External Characteristics of Compound Generator - The causes of voltage drop in the terminal voltage from no-load to full-load in a shunt generator can be partially/fully/over-compensated by use of an…
External Characteristics of DC Shunt Generator: The External Characteristics of DC Shunt Generator can be predetermined from a knowledge of the OCC and armature and field resistances (which can be determined by simple dc test),…
Characteristics of Separately Excited DC Generator: With the advent of silicon-controlled rectifiers, the importance of the dc machine as a generator has considerably reduced as SCRs can be employed to draw dc power from standard…
Self Excited DC Generator: Rather than arranging a separate dc source for excitation purposes, practical generators are always excited from their own armature terminals, this method of excitation being known as Self Excitation. A Self…
Magnetization Characteristics of DC Generator: The emf and torque equations, and power balance has been considered so far. The consideration of the Magnetization Characteristics in this section will set the stage for determining the performance…
Methods of Excitation of DC Generator: The performance characteristics of a dc machine are greatly influenced by the way in which the field winding is excited with direct current. There are two Methods of Excitation…
Commutation in DC Machine or Generator or Motor: One coil each under an adjoining pole-pair is connected between adjacent commutator segments in a lap-wound dc armature, while in a wave-wound armature the only difference is…
