 DC MOTOR
• A DC motor or Direct
Current Motor converts
electrical energy into
mechanical energy.
• A direct current (DC) motor is a fairly simple electric
motor that uses electricity and a magnetic field to
produce torque, which turns the rotor and hence give
mechanical work.
 PRINCIPLE OF DC MOTORS
• In any electric motor, operation is
based on simple
electromagnetism.

• When a current-carrying
conductor is placed in an external
magnetic field, it will experience a
force i.e. Lorentz force.

• Due to this force torque is

produced which rotates the rotor
of motor and hence a motor runs.
 CONSTRUCTION
• DC motor consist of 2 windings…
1. Field winding.
2. Armature winding.

• Field winding is stationary and

armature winding can rotate
freely.
• Field windings when given DC
supply, magnetic field is produced.
• Armature winding when
connected to DC source, shaft
connected to it rotates due to
Lorentz force.
WORKING OF DC MOTORS
 TYPES OF DC MOTORS
• DC motor are of 3 types they are…..

1. DC SHUNT MOTOR

2. DC SERIES MOTOR

3. DC COMPOUND MOTOR
1. DC SHUNT MOTOR
• The parallel combination of two
windings is connected across a
common dc power supply.
• The resistance of shunt field
winding (Rsh) is always higher
than that is armature winding.
• This is because the number of
turns for the field winding is more
than that of armature winding.
• The cross-sectional area of the
wire used for field winding is
smaller than that of the wire used
for armature winding.
Armature
2. DC SERIES MOTOR
• The field winding is connected in
series with the armature.
• The current passing through the
series winding is same as the
armature current .
• Therefore the series field winding
has fewer turns of thick wire than
the shunt field winding.
• Also therefore the field winding
will posses a low resistance then
the armature winding.

 I. LONG SHUNT COMPOUND MOTOR

• In this the series winding is

connected in series with the
armature winding and the
shunt winding is connected in
parallel with the armature
connection.
 II. SHORT SHUNT COMPUND MOTOR

• In short shunt compound

motor the series winding is
connected in series to the
parallel combination of
armature and the shunt
winding
• This is done to get good
starting torque and constant
speed characteristics.
a) CUMULATIVE COMPOUND DC MOTORS
• If the two field windings i.e. series and
shunt are wounded in such a way that the
fluxes produced by them add or assist
each other

b) DIFFERENTIAL COMPOUND DC MOTORS

• If the two field winding i.e. series and
shunt are wounded in such a way that the
fluxes produced by them always try to
oppose and try to cancel each other.
