Introduction to DC Machines • Advantages • Adjustable speed • Develop rated torque at all speeds • Higher torque than an equivalent AC machine • Uses • Robots • Automotive • Railroads
Elementary 2-pole DC motor Poles created by DC current in the field winding or by a permanent magnet
Flux through the “window” of a 1-turn armature coil as a function of position
Flux Distribution and Induced Voltage The induced voltage is AC
Commutation / Mechanical Rectification • “Neutral” position • Coil shorted by the brushes • No armature voltage generated – coil sides not cutting any flux • No current
Commutation (continued) • Brushes contact the armature conductor • CCW rotation • Coils sides cut flux • Current in A as shown • Current in B as shown
Commutation (continued) • “Neutral” position • As before, coil shorted by the brushes • No armature voltage generated – coil sides not cutting any flux • No current
Commutation (continued) • Brushes contact the armature conductor • CCW rotation • Coils sides cut flux • Current in B as shown • Current in A as shown • Currents are in the same direction as before!
