Selection of DC Motor for
Particular Applications
Separately Excited Motors

1. Accurate Speed
2. Speed variation is required from very low
value to high value.
3. Used in steel rolling mills, paper machines,
diesel-electric propulsion of ships.
Shunt Motors

 It is constant speed motor so it used for:

1. Where the speed between no load to full load

has to be maintained almost constant.
2. Where it is required to drive the load at
various speeds and any one of the speed is
required to be maintained almost constant for
a relatively long period.
Series Motors
 It is variable speed motor:

1. Where high torque is required at the time of

starting to accelerate heavy loads quickly.
2. Where the load is subjected to heavy fluctuations
and speed is required to be adjusted automatically.
3. Most suitable for electric traction, cranes,
elevators, vacuum cleaners, air drives, sewing
machines, fans and air compressors.
Compound Motors

1. Where high torque is required at the time of

starting and where the load may be thrown
off suddenly.
2. Where the load is subjected to heavy
fluctuations.
3. Best suited for punching and shearing
machines, rolling mills, lifts and mine-hoists.
Applications
Applications

 The d.c. machine can operate as either a motor or a generator,

at present its use as a generator is limited because of the
widespread use of ac power.

 Larged.c. motors are used in machine tools, printing

presses, fans, pumps, cranes, paper mill, traction, textile mills
and so forth.

 Smalld.c. machines (fractional horsepower rating) are

used primarily as control device-such as tacho-generators for
speed sensing and servomotors for position and tracking.
