INPUT
- INTRODUCTION DC MOTOR
ow that we have a good understanding of DC generators, we can begin our study of DC motors. Direct Current (DC) motors transform electrical energy into mechanical energy. They drive devices such as hoist, fans, pumps, calendars, punch presses, and cars. DC motors are preferred for portable operation. The best portable power supply we have today is the battery, which supplies only direct current. DC motors are used when some specific characteristic are required. For example, small DC motors can be used to produce a very high torque. The speed of DC motor is very easy to control with simple circuits. Another reason for choosing DC motors owes to their reversible direction of rotation. In this section, we will discuss the back electro motive force EMF (counter voltage) the formulae of input voltage and the torque.
Figure 3.1: Direction of Counter Voltage
3.1 CONCEPT OF BACK EMF(COUNTER VOLTAGE)
If you still remember Faraday’s Law(i) states
that any time, if there is a relative motion
between a conductor and magnetic field, there
will always be voltage generated. Figure 3.1
illustrate a conductor located in magnetic field. Conventional current flowing through the conductor causes it to move in one direction – downward in this case. When the conductor moves, a counter voltage will be generated in it because it is moving through the magnetic field.
(i)Faraday’s Law
A voltage is induced any time there is relative motion between a magnetic field and a conductor.
(ii)Lenz’s Law
A counter voltage is always such that it will produce (or try to produce) a current that oppose the motion that produce it.
(iii)Right Hand Rule
(ii)The conventional current flow in
Figure 3.3 moves the conductor down; the
counter voltage will try to set up a current to
prevent the conductor from moving. Use
the right hand generator rule(iii) to verify that
the counter voltage will try to set up a
current with a field that moves the conductor
in the opposite (upward) direction. The
counter voltage produces limitations on the
motor action. For one thing, the amount of
current that can be delivered to the motor for
efficient rotation (and also, the amount of
force on the conductor) is definitely limited
by the counter voltage.
The counter voltage does not actually set up
an opposing current. What it does is to
oppose the conventional current that sets up
the motion. The amount of voltage induced
into a conductor moving in magnetic field is
directly related to the rate at which the
conductor cuts through the flux lines. So, a
rapid moving conductor will induce more counter voltage than a slow moving one. This relates directly to the motion of conductors in a motor. The amount of counter voltage is dependent upon the speed of the motor. The counter voltage changes as the motor speed changes, and therefore its effect on the speed of the motor also changes.

INPUT
- FORMULAE OF INPUT VOLTAGE
After we understand the back EMF, we must know the formulae of the input voltage. When the machine is operating as a motor, the EMF (E) is less than the applied voltage (V), and the direction of the current (Ia) is the reverse when the machine is acting as a generator. The equation for input voltage can be expressed by (i).
……….(i)
where:
V : Applied voltage
E : Back EMF
Ia : Current armature
Ra : Resistance armature
Example 3.1
The armature of a DC machine has a resistance of 0.1Ω and is connected to a 230V supply. Calculate the back EMF when it is running as a motor taking 60A.
Solution
Given:
Ra | = | 0.1Ω |
Ia | = | 60A |
V | = | 230V |
Recall:
\Back EMF
E = 230 – (60)(0.1)
E = 224V#
Example 3.2
A DC motor takes an armature current of 110A at 480V. The counter voltage of the DC motor is 458V. Calculate the resistance of the armature motor.
Solution
Given:
V | = | 480V |
Ia | = | 110A |
E | = | 458V |
Recall:
