Field circuit

dI VF = I F RF + LF F dt Armature circuit dI VT = I A RA + LA A + E A dt Electric torque TE = K EI A

Armature back emf E A = K Em

VF = I F RF

In steady state,

VT = I A RA + E A

Thus, steady state speed is given as,

m =
VT RA TE K E ( K E ) 2

Three possible methods of speed control: - Armature voltage VT - Armature resistance RA - Field flux

TYPES OF DC MOTORS (5) UNIVERSAL MOTOR

Can run both on DC and AC supply. Specially d i S i ll designed for hi h speed applications, d f high d li ti exceeding 3000 rpm and up to 20,000 rpm. Disadvantages: high maintenance cost and relatively short operating life. Examples application: fans, electric drills, home appliances. h li

TYPES OF DC MOTORS (6) PERMANENT MAGNET DC MOTOR

Use permanent magnet (normally ferrites or cobalt samarium) samarium). Available up to 5 kW rating. No field copper loss, and no need field supply. Field flux remains constant for all loads. Speed cannot be controlled above base speed. Examples application: electric vehicles, forklift trucks, and wheel chairs.

TYPES OF DC MOTORS (7) DC SERVO MOTOR

Normally use in closed loop speed and positional control systems that required good dynamic performance and steady state accuracy. Special designed to achieve the same performance in both directions of rotation, high torque to inertia ratio low friction and smooth ratio, ripple free torque. Much more expensive than common DC motors.
23

TYPES OF DC MOTORS (8) TORQUE DC MOTOR

Special designed for stalled or low speed applications. applications Stalled or low speed current in normal DC motors can be 5 10 times the rated current. Applications: (1) operate in stalled condition (develop pressure/ tension on a material, like spring), spring) (2) move through only a few revolutions/ degrees of revolution (opening valves, switches and clamping devices), (3) continuous movement at low speed (reel drive).

STARTING OF DC MOTORS
Main concern during starting is the starting current limit limit. At standstill, back emf is zero and the only resistance opposing flow of current is the armature circuit resistance, which is quite small. 2 methods for limiting the starting current:
armature voltage control variable resistance controller in full supply condition.
25

STARTING OF DC MOTORS
Example: A 50 hp, 250V motor has RA of 0.06 , and full load current less than 200 A, the starting current is IA = (VT EA)/ RA = (250V 0V)/ 0.06 ( ) = 4167A.

BRAKING OF DC MOTORS
An electric drive operates in three modes:
Steady-state Acceleration including starting Deceleration including stopping/ braking

Deceleration occurs when TL > TE. Mechanical brake or electric braking are used.

27

BRAKING OF DC MOTORS
During electric braking, motor current tends to exceed the safe limit limit. For short period braking, maximum current is allowed to exceed the rated current. The higher the braking torque, the greater the deceleration. Three types of electric b ki Th t f l t i braking:
Regenerative braking Dynamic braking Plugging or reverse voltage braking

BRAKING OF DC MOTORS REGENERATIVE BRAKING

Generated energy is supplied to the source if: E > V and negative IA d ti According to the following equation,
E A = K Em
1) 2) 3)

field flux cannot be increased further due to saturation effect. increase speed higher than rated rated. decrease V using variable voltage source.

Regenerative braking is not possible in series DC motor as speed increases, flux decreases.
29

BRAKING OF DC MOTORS REGENERATIVE BRAKING

Regenerative braking is possible only when there are enough loads connected to the supply to absorb the regenerated power: Pload = Pregenerated Side effects: raise line voltage that leads to insulation breakdown. Alternatives: use resistance bank or battery. Alt ti i t b k b tt

BRAKING OF DC MOTORS PLUGGING

In separately excited motor, the supply voltage is reversed during plugging as to assist the back emf in forcing armature current in reverse direction.

SPEED CONTROL OF DC MOTORS

Referring to the following equation:
m =
VT RA TE K E ( K E ) 2

DC motor speed can be controlled through:

1) 2) 3)

Armature resistance control (RA , m ) Field flux (or field voltage) control ( , m ) Armature voltage control (VT , m )

37

SPEED CONTROL OF DC MOTORS (ARMATURE RESISTANCE CONTROL)

Speed is varied by inserting additional external resistance (Radd) in series with armature circuit circuit.

SPEED CONTROL OF DC MOTORS (ARMATURE VOLTAGE CONTROL)

Most preferred method in DC drives because:
High ffi i Hi h efficiency Good transient response Good speed regulation

But it only can provide the speed control below base ( t d) speed as th armature voltage b (rated) d the t lt cannot be allowed to exceed rated value.

41

SPEED CONTROL OF DC MOTORS (ARMATURE VOLTAGE CONTROL)

The control methods are depending on the types of supply voltage: When the supply is AC:
Ward-Leonard schemes Transformer with taps and uncontrolled rectifier Static Ward-Leonard scheme or controlled rectifiers St ti W d L d h t ll d tifi

When the supply is DC:
