2. 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.

3. 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]

4. 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 ...

5. Brushed DC electric motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brushed_DC_electric_motor

   A DC motor's speed and torque characteristics vary according to three different magnetization sources, separately excited field, self-excited field or permanent-field, which are used selectively to control the motor over the mechanical load's range. Self-excited field motors can be series, shunt, or a compound wound connected to the armature.

6. Growler (electrical device) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growler_(electrical_device)

   A growler is an electrical device primarily used for testing a motor for shorted coils. A growler consists of a coil of wire wrapped around an iron core and connected to a source of alternating current. When placed on the armature or stator core of a motor the growler acts as the primary of a transformer and the armature coils act as the ...

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.

8. Universal motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_motor

   The universal motor is modified in several ways to allow for proper AC supply operation. There is a compensating winding typically added, along with laminated pole pieces, as opposed to the solid pole pieces found in DC motors. [2] A universal motor's armature typically has far more coils and plates than a DC motor, and hence fewer windings per ...

9. Motor constants - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_constants

   To translate this model to a rotating motor, one can simply attribute an arbitrary diameter to the motor armature e.g. 2 m and assume for simplicity that all force is applied at the outer perimeter of the rotor, giving 1 m of leverage.
