For counter-clockwise motion the rotor terminal under
the N pole is always positive with respect to that
under the S pole.
The brush terminal B1 is always positive and B2 is

Construction Of DC Machine


Armature
The armature (rotor) is made up of cylindrical steel
structure. However, it cannot be fabricated from
solid steel, since eddy and hysteresis losses may
reach prohibitive values and damage the armature
windings insulation. Reduction of eddy current
losses can be achieved by fabricating armature core
of insulated laminated silicon steel. Sheets of silicon
steel of 0.35 mm thick are punched to form the
shape of armature slots and teeth, then insulated on
both sides and assembled to form armature core.
Hysteresis loss can be reduced by adjusting the
amount of silicon in the steel such that the
hysteresis loop area of the alloy is kept as low as
possible.

Eddy Currents (cont.)
Dividing the iron core into thin insulated
laminations minimizes eddy current loss.

Hysteresis Loop
19
Hysteresis Loss


The amount of heat released per cycle
expressed in J/m3 is equal to the area in
Tesla.A/m of the hysteresis loop.
To reduce hysteresis losses, we select
magnetic materials that have a narrow
hysteresis loop, such as the grainoriented silicon steel used in the cores
of alternating-current transformers.

Construction Of DC Machine (Cont.)


The Commutator
The commutator is made up from a number of
hard drawn copper segments forming a cylinder
rotating with the shaft. For small machines this
is achieved by mounting the segments on a
Bakelite ring fitted on the shaft. The segments
are insulated from each other and fixed on the
Bakelite ring using adhesives. For machines with
high ratings, the commutator is assembled from
commutator segments shaped as shown. The
segments are fitted into two guides as shown in
figure and insulated from each other and from
the guides using mica paper.
21
The Commutator
Commutator: is a mechanical rectifier, which converts the alternating voltage
generated in the armature winding into direct voltage across the brush. It is made of
copper segments insulated from each other by mica and mounted on the shaft of the
machine. The armature windings are connected to the commutator segments.

The Brushes
Brushes are fitted to collect or conduct
current from or into the armature. They
are made of graphite with high hardness
to ensure long life time during service.
Brushes are usually fitted in brush box
(holder) are pressed on commutator
segments by virtue of spring. The brush
holder is fixed in the machine frame and
insulated from it. Details of brush holder
are shown in figure.

The Brushes
The purpose of the brush is to ensure electrical connections between the
rotating commutator and stationary external load circuit. It is made of
carbon and rest on the commutator.


Field System
The magnetic flux in a DC machine is established by
electromagnets shaped in the form of salient poles
attached to a cylindrical yoke. The pole itself is made
from two main parts, shank and shoe. The shank
may be of circular or rectangular cross section while
fabricated from cast steel, wrought iron or cast iron.
There is no need for laminating it since flux flow is
unidirectional. As for the shoe, it keeps field
windings in place and distributes flux lines over
larger area and thus avoids saturation of flux lines in
armature teeth. Pole shoe is essentially laminated to
keep iron loss in it to a minimum. Iron loss in pole
shoe is produced by tooth pulsations. Field windings
are made by concentric number of turns of insulated
copper wire wound on a former. The former is made
of Bakelite and is shaped as shown in figure.



Armature Windings
Armature windings are made of the shape of
pre-wound coils as shown in figure. The
armature is wound in a double layer fashion
to avoid irregular shape of end connections.
Moreover, coil pitch should be as near as
possible to pole pitch to ensure voltage
summation around the coil. On the other
hand, to obtain a reasonable value of
collected voltage, the coils are connected in
series maintaining that their voltages are in
the same sense. This is achieved in two
alternative methods of windings; namely, Lap
and Wave types of windings.

The turn, coil, and the winding are shown schematically as:

A turn consists of two conductors connected to one end by an end connector.
A coil is formed by connecting several turns in series.
A winding is formed by connecting several coils in series.




Lap Windings
In this type of windings, the successive coils of the
armature overlap each other as shown in figure.
Successive coils are connected in series with their ends
connected to successive commutator segments. The
pitch of the coil as viewed from commutator end is
termed as the front pitch while that measured from
other end is called the back pitch. These pitches should
not be equal to ensure winding progression.
If an armature is wound with C coils and having 2p
number of poles, then the back pitch should be equal to
the number of coils occupying one pole pitch, i.e.
Back pitch y b= C/2p
coils
and hence, Front pitch yf = yb ± 1 coils
Positive sign is used for winding retrogression while the
negative sign is for winding progression.
Commutator pitch is then given by : yc = 1
Number of Commutator Segments = C
28
Construction Of DC Machine (Cont.)

Example
Design a suitable armature winding for an
armature with 12 slots each containing two coil
sides. The winding is double layer and number
of poles is 4.

Solution
C = 12 x 2 / 2 = 12 coils
yb = C/2p = 12/4 = 3 coils
yf = 3 + 1 = 4 for retrogressive winding
or yf = 3 - 1 = 2 for progressive winding
yf is taken equal to 2 to ensure less end
connection length.

Wave Windings
In this type of windings, the coils connected in series
are either progressing or retrogressing all the way. The
figure show schematic representation for a partially
wound armature with wave windings. The distance
between successive coils sides occupying
nearly the same location under similar poles is termed
the resultant pitch “ y “ and is equal to;
y = yb + yf
where yb and yf are the back and front pitches of the
winding.
The resultant pitch “ y “ occupies double pole pitch,
therefore for a machine with “ 2p “ poles;
y.p=C±1
On the other hand, commutator pitch in terms of
commutator segments will be then given by;
yc = y

Example
Design a suitable armature winding for an armature with 14 slots each containing two coil
sides. The winding is double layer and number of poles is 6.

Solution
C = 14 x 2 / 2 = 14 coils
y = C ± 1 / p = 14 ± 1 / 3 = 5 coils progressive only
yb = 3 & yf = 2
or yb = 2 & yf = 3

From the previous example, it is clear that:
a) There is only two parallel circuits whatever the number of poles is.
b) Two brushes arms can only be used for voltage collection ( A & B ). However,
extra brush arms are used to limit the current in each brush arm ( C, D, E & F ).
Therefore number of brush arms = number of poles as in the case of Lap windings.
c) Again brush location is decided relative to position of poles and best location is
such that brushes should be in contact with coil sides in the neutral zone.
D) Number of parallel circuits in this type of windings whatever the number of poles
is always equal to TWO.
i.e. For wave windings 2a = 2


The armature mmf distorts the flux density distribution and also produce
demagnetizing effect as a result the zero flux density shifts from the
brush-axis, and this causes poor commutation leading to sparking.
Much of the armature mmf can be neutralized by using a compensating
winding, which is fitted in slots cut on the main pole faces
MMF produced by compensating winding opposes the armature mmf.
The compensating winding is connected in series with the armature
winding so that its mmf is proportional to armature mmf.

A 250V shunt motor has an armature
resistance of 0.25W and a field resistance
of 125W. At no-load the motor takes a line
current of 5.0A while running at 1200
rpm. If the line current at full-load is
52.0A, what is the full-load speed?

SPEED CONTROL
Since Vt  Ea  I a ra
Ea  K a  w m
Vt  I a ra

So the speed of the d.c .motor can be controlled by controlling
Vt , ra , or 
1- Armature Voltage Control
 In this method ra and If (i.e.f) are kept constant,
and Vt is varied to change the speed.
 The motor must be separately excited to use
armature voltage control.
 Armature voltage control can control the speed
of the motor for speeds below rated speed but
not for speed above rated speed.
 This method is expensive because it requires a
variable d.c. supply for the armature circuit.
118
SPEED CONTROL (Cont.)
2- Field current control
In this method Vt and ra remain fixed and the speed is controlled by varying
If . This is normally achieved by using a field rheostat as shown in the
following Figure for shunt d.c. motor. Field control can control the speed of
the motor for speeds above base speed but not for speeds below base speed.
This method is simple to implement and less expensive, because the control
is at the low power level of the field circuit.
119
SPEED CONTROL (Cont.)
3- Armature resistance control
In this method, the armature terminal
voltage Vt and the field current If are kept
constant at their rated values. The speed
is controlled by changing the resistance in
the armature circuit. Armature resistance
control is simple to implement. However,
this method is less efficient because of
losses in the resistance. This method can
be used in all types of d.c. motors.
Armature resistance control can control
the speed of the motor for speeds below
base speed.

SPEED CONTROL TECHNIQUES
1- Ward-Leonard System
(Classical method)
The system uses a motor-generator (M-G) set to control the speed of the DC drive motor.
The motor of the M-G set runs at constant speed. By varying the generator field
current, the generator voltage changes, which in turn changes the speed of the DC
drive motor. The system is operated in two control modes.
Vt Control: the speed is changed from zero to the base speed by keeping If constant at
rated value and changing the terminal voltage. The torque can be maintained constant
during operation in this range of speed.
If Control: The field current control is used to obtain speed above the base speed. In this
mode, Vt remains constant and If is decreased to obtain higher speeds. The armature
current can be kept constant, thereby operating the motor in a constant horsepower
mode.
121
SPEED CONTROL TECHNIQUES
2- Solid-State Control
In Recent years, solid-state control have been used as a replacement of rotating
(M-G) set. Both armature control and field control can be achieved using
controlled rectifier or choppers.

Controlled Rectifiers
If the supply is ac, controlled rectifiers
can be used to convert it to a variable
voltage dc supply by changing the firing
angle  of the rectifier thyristors.
122
SPEED CONTROL TECHNIQUES

Chopper
A chopper converts a fixed-voltage dc supply
into a variable voltage dc supply.
The switch S can be a thyristor , a GTO or a
power transistor.
When the switching device S is on , Vt = V
(supply voltage) and motor current increases.
When S is off Vt = 0 and motor current decays
through the diode.
