2. Ward Leonard control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Leonard_control

   Where the 'prime mover' is electrical, a Ward Leonard drive unit consists of a motor and generator with shafts coupled together. The prime mover, which turns at a constant speed, may be AC or DC powered. The generator is a DC generator, with field windings and armature windings. The input to the amplifier is applied to the field windings, and ...

3. Armature Controlled DC Motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armature_Controlled_DC_Motor

   A motor requiring a DC power supply for operation is termed a DC motor. DC motors are widely used in control applications like robotics, tape drives, machines and many more. Separately excited DC motors are suitable for control applications because of separate field and armature circuit. [1] Two ways to control DC separately excited motors are ...

4. Armature (electrical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armature_(electrical)

   A DC armature of a miniature motor (or generator) An example of a triple-T armature A partially-constructed DC armature, showing the (incomplete) windings. In electrical engineering, the armature is the winding (or set of windings) of an electric machine which carries alternating current. [1]

5. DC motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_motor

   A DC motor is an electrical motor that uses direct current (DC) to produce mechanical force. The most common types rely on magnetic forces produced by currents in the coils. Nearly all types of DC motors have some internal mechanism, either electromechanical or electronic, to periodically change the direction of current in part of the motor.

6. Traction motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_motor

   The DC motor was the mainstay of electric traction drives on electric and diesel-electric locomotives, street-cars/trams and diesel electric drilling rigs for many years. It consists of two parts, a rotating armature and fixed field windings surrounding the rotating armature mounted around a shaft.

7. Compensation winding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compensation_Winding

   A compensation winding in a DC shunt motor is a winding in the field pole face plate that carries armature current to reduce stator field distortion.Its purpose is to reduce brush arcing and erosion in DC motors that are operated with weak fields, variable heavy loads or reversing operation such as steel-mill motors.
