Introduction

Why use DC
mach.?

 High degree of flexibility

able to easily respond to altered
circumstances

 Can provide:
High starting torque
High accelerating and decelerating
torques
Wide range of speed control
Quick reversals

 Stator core is not laminated

Armature core is always laminated
to reduce eddy current loss
Magnetic Circuit of machines used in control
systems is also laminated
due to eddy current damping
To get fast response

Application
Areas

 Automobile
Starter motors
Windshield wiper motor
Fan motor
But WHY DC?
Because cars use batteries for energy
storage

 Industry
Rolling mills
Electric elevators
Railroad locomotives

But WHY DC?

To get accurate control of speed and/or
