A compound DC motor connects the armature and fields windings in a shunt and a series combination to give it characteristics of both a shunt and a series DC motor. [5] This motor is used when both a high starting torque and good speed regulation is needed. The motor can be connected in two arrangements: cumulatively or differentially.
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.
Generator separately excited by battery Self exciting generators Series on left, shunt on right. A shunt generator is a type of electric generator in which field winding and armature winding are connected in parallel, and in which the armature supplies both the load current and the field current for the excitation (generator is therefore self excited).
A miniature coreless motor. The coreless or ironless DC motor is a specialized permanent magnet DC motor. [74] Optimized for rapid acceleration, the rotor is constructed without an iron core. The rotor can take the form of a winding-filled cylinder, or a self-supporting structure comprising only wire and bonding material.
A field coil may be connected in shunt, in series, or in compound with the armature of a DC machine (motor or generator). For a machine using field coils, as is the case in most large generators, the field must be established by a current in order for the generator to produce electricity.
A shunt is a device that is designed to provide a low-resistance path for an electrical current in a circuit. It is typically used to divert current away from a system or component in order to prevent overcurrent .
A DC motor consists of two parts: a rotor and a stator. [3] The stator consists of field windings while the rotor (also called the armature) consists of an armature winding. [ 4 ] When both the armature and the field windings are excited by a DC supply, current flows through the windings and a magnetic flux proportional to the current is produced.
A variant of the DC system is the AC series motor, also known as the universal motor, which is essentially the same device but operates on alternating current. Since both the armature and field current reverse at the same time, the behavior of the motor is similar to that when energized with direct current.
