OPERATIONAL PRINCIPLE OF DIRECT CURRENT MOTORS
Can be stated as: wherever a current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field it
experience a force whose Direction is given by Fleming’s left hand rule
flux density, B, the current flowing, I, and the effective length of the conductor, l, i.e. F = BIl.
1
By Mr. Arusei
Line of force a property of tending to shorten themselves so that they may be regarded as being
in tension each conduction will experience a force like that exerted on a stone in a catapult.
Since these conductor are embedded in slots on the armature the latter is caused to rotate
in a clockwise direction .
When armature rotate the conductor on it cut the lines of force of magnetic field in which
they revolve that an e.m.f is induced in the armature . the e.m.f acts in opposition to the
current in the machine and therefore to the applied voltage so that it is customary to refer
to this voltage as the back e.m.f. ( Lenz’s law = direction of an induced e.m.f is such as to
oppose the charge causing it which is of course the applied voltage) .
SERIES MOTOR
Have series configuration of field winding and armature one end of voltage source
connected to field winding and the other to armature .
Initially at start up motor draws a huge amount of current because both armature and
winding are made up of large conductors thus offers minimum resistance to the current
path. The large current through the armature winding yields a strong magnetic field
providing high torque to the armature shaft , thus invoking the spinning action of the
armature .
The motor starts rotating at its maximum speed in the beginning the rotating armature in
presence of magnetic field results in counter e.m.f which limit the current build up in the
series combination of armature and winding .
MOTOR SPEED
In DC series motor a linear relationship exist between the amount of torque produces
and the current flowing through the field winding , the speed can be which further controls
the torque of motor they do not operate at contact speed its varies with change in the shaft
load so speed control of the motor is not easy to put into practice .
SHUNT MOTORS
2
By Mr. Arusei
Field windings are shunted connected in parallel the armature winding of the motor both
winding exposed to same voltage supply
Drawing
Torque develop is proportional to armature current the armature winding must be exposed to
an amount of current that is much higher than the field winding thus field winding is
wound with many turns to increase flux linkage I ] proportional to the torque .
SPEED REGULATION
It has self speed regulation on application of load to the shaft , while running with no load its
speed is constant on application f load on the shaft the speed definitely reduces , and a long
with speed also reduces the back emf with reduction in back e.m.f. it leads to increase in
net voltage the armature current increase consequently , the torque increases , this increase in
torque increases the speed and thus compensating for the speed was on loading .
COMPOUND MOTOR
Falls under category of self existed motor its made up of series field coils S 1S2 and shunt
field coils F1F2 connected to the armature winding .
Drawing
Both the field coils provide for the required amount of magnetic flux that links with the
armature coil and brings about the torque necessary to facilitate rotation at the desired speed ,
it provides better properties of series and short motor since its an Amalgamation of the two .
CROSS FIELD
THE CROSS FIELD PRINCIPLES

By Mr. Arusei
- Refer [3] here above two case have been combined flux along the horizontal axis
generate voltage interfere with each other thus this device is virtually two machine in one if
armature reaction is negligible or full compensation is provided , although the current are
sup rimed in the same armature conductors they can still be considered to have a scientific
existence . this leads to an interconnection between the two system which is made use of
advantageously in machine called cross –field generator .
Drawing
THE METADYNE
Commutating poles are also required in these machine for satisfactory commutation whereas
no commutation pole is required in the Rosenberg generator for satisfactory commutation
Fully compensated machine is called AMPHIDYNE and under compensated machine is called
Metaldyne .
Metadyne is partially compensated thus the opposing flux produce by the control flux , this
will control output current would neutralize most of the control flux this will control the
output current by suppressing the current through control windings .
Metaldyne have been used to control the aiming of large guns and for speed control in
electric trains in particular the London underground O and P stock.

OPERATION
The first arrangement representing a one –cycle cross field machine , in a normal DC
machine the effect of the excitation current generates a flux [A1] which intern generate
excitation current generates a flux a quadrature flux which is at height angle to the
exciting flux . by the quadrature box together .
- The current is produced in the armature and the flux that this produces [A2] is gain at
right angles to the quadrature resulting in an armature reaction is partly compensated
by a compensation winding the compensated portion of the armature reaction acts
in this way.
- As the output current rises , it suppresses its effect of excitation until it reaches a state
there is just enough excitation to maintain the current . any further increase would
eliminate the flux which sustain its operation and the current is maintain
irrespective of the resistance f load as a constant current generator where the
current is proportional to the excitation .
- The second diagram shows a machine with no excitation winding but instead a
constant voltage is connected to the quadrature brushes . this produces a flux similar
to the one produced by rotation of the armature in the excitation flux in first exams
input and output power and same and so the machine transport the constant voltage

the current is proportional to the excitation
- The second diagram shows a machine with no excitation flux in the first example

output .
- Third diagram show a metadyne connected to two square motors and this
arrangement was used for the control of traction motors on electric train .

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The homopolar motor is driven by the LORENTZ FORCE a conductor with a conductor
with a current flowing through it when place in a magnetic field which is perpendicular to
both the magnetic field and the current , this force provides a torque around the axis of
rotation because the axis of rotation is parallel to the magnetic field do not change polarity ,
no commutation is required for the conduction to keep turning , this simplicity is most readily
achieved with single turn design turn design which makes homopolar motors unsuitable
for most practical applications .
THE HYSTERESIS
7
By Mr. Arusei
Have a solid smooth cylindrical rotor cast a high cobalt magnetic hard cobalt steel i.e. have
wide hysterical loop high cavity ] machine once ma magnetized in a given direction it
requires a large reverse magnetic field to reverse the magnetization .the rotation state field
causes each small volume of the rotor experiences a reversing magnetic field at the slip
frequency which drives it around its hysteresis loop the rotor field to lay and create
torque as the torque as the rotor approaches synchronous speed and slip goes to zero this
magnetizes and aligns with the station field , causing the rotor to lock to the rotating
station field .
8
By Mr. Arusei
Operates subjects to a pulsating magnetic field the two separate winding wined in tandem
producer a two phase rotating magnetic field this is due to a difference of impendence start
winding has a higher resistance than the running winding and after seconds of rotation a
certain fugal switches or timed relay automatically remove the start winding from the
circuit .
CAPACITOR START
Have an electrolytic capacitor in series with the start winding to obtain a greater phase angle
and a torque. The start winding i.e. the start and the run, a centrifugal switch or timed relay
remove the start winding from circuit when rotation reach above 75% of the full rotor
speed .
INDUCTION MOTOR
SQUIRREL CAGE
DRAWING

By Mr. Arusei
Now any conductor that cuts magnetic fields at right angle induces an electromotive force
[ EMF] into the coil . It is this same principle that induction motor use to work. the rotor has the
hollow slots to which copper bars are drown in and common circuits made by brass ring
brazed to each end of the copper bars . The stator has three phases Red, yellow, and blue are
connected. They are in such a way that they are out of phase by 120o.
WORKING
Operates on the principles of relating magnetic field to obtain momentum each voltage must
be constantly and out of phase 120o . the physical location of the windings around the
stator adds an influencing factor allowing the magnetic field to gyrate , the speed of the
rotating magnetic field called , the synchronous speed of the rotating magnetic fields
called the synchronous speed is dependent on the following .
10
By Mr. Arusei
Frequency = hertz
Number of pairs of poles within stator
- Voltage serving station must be out of phase by 120 o, synchronous speed with rotor
speed in revolution per minute is given by :
Rpm=fx60/p
F= frequency
P=pairs of poles
With this the short circuit and copper bars winding which allow the current to flow
throughout the rotor circuit. They will set up the their own electromagnetic fields and
doing so will interact with the fields formed within the stator windings , the
synchronous speed of rotating magnetic field has effect of dragging the rotor
around with it , the rotor will to at speed slightly less they synchronous speed
[ magnetism has cut bars otherwise motor will never function .
Close relative to induction motor only that it has two sets of caged rotor instead of
one set , one set has a higher resistance than another set thus following the motor to
have better starting torque [ over twice much]

rotor will lock in and faithfully place the field and so doing maintain a constant speed , if
the applied load is too great it will find it difficult to place and will still and eventually

are required to operate more frequently , they have a main circuit and a control circuit . they
are designed according to the method of energizing the control circuit nearby .
- Electromagnetic device
- Pneumatic type
- Electro-pneumatic type
Drawing
Contactor is electrically operated switch intended for and breaking heavy current when
attained by a relay while drive very little current or by a push button . in DC circuit
contactor mainly of sole node type which a soft iron lung moves inside coil or wire . in A.C
circuit it comprise of service e shape laminated sheet with a contactor coil on the Centre
leg and is equipped with hinged armature on which main circuit auxiliary contactor are
mounted automatically contactor are design to operate even if a momentary contact is made
by the control device i.e. the ON plugh button is normally open and closes for a short
time for a sec or two then the button is pressed . the contactor closes on this momentary
impulse and auxiliary contacts in closed position even after on button is released . the
current required o keep the contactor in our position is much less than that for closing for
closing it . thus the auxillary hold on contact works to ensure that the contactor coil does not
get hot when operating continuously in the fully closed position .
Devices switching more than 15amphere or in circuits rated more than a few kilowalts are
usually called contactors .
PUSH BUTTONS
Contacts of push buttons are usually double break type there contact are operated by a
button . one normally open [NO] and there other and pressed by applying a force the NC
contact opens and No contact closes as long as it held pressed .
Drawing
Its provided with a spring that brings back contacts green push bottom is used for
starting a device while red is used for stopping .
RELAY
15
By Mr. Arusei
Operated by magnetism or other mechanism like in thermal relay where a heating coil is
wound on a bimetallic strip the coil carries flowing through the coil the bimetal bends
consistently and opens a normally closed contact or closes and normally open contact the
opening or closing of the contact of relay driving overload can be utilized in tripping off
the circuit in which this relay has been employed.
Drawing
No hold contact is provided on jog push –button thus the contact coil a will remain en
energized as long as the jog is kept pressed . thus the motor operation controlled by
operator. C is another jogging and using a election switch , selector situation enable to
select either continuous mode of operation or jogging operation .
Drawing
; control circuit for running and jogging of an induction motor through separate push
buttons .
Through A the motor is fed with three phase supply for forward rotation where as through
B is fed for reverse direction of rotation . a and b is fed for reverse direction of rotation .
16
By Mr. Arusei
A and b are called hold on contact and are responsible for holding the line . when forward
f is pressed , No contact closes and is energized through NC of P it remain on No even
when F is raced since NO content of contactor A is now closed .
When formed button is pressed contactor coil A get energized and provides three phase
supply to the motor the forward operation hold on contact when pressure of button is released
N/B when it is energized its NC contact which has been connected in series with the
contactor coil B remains open . therefore when the motor is rotating in forward direction it
will not be possible to energize contactor B by pressing the reverse push button R similarly
its not possible when B is energized to energize A also .
By changing the applied voltage air gap that can be changed so as also the slip, and motor
speed can be also ally thyrastor controller is used ,two SCR are connected in antiparallel per
phase . this is a constantly arrangement fitting circuit very complicated .

pulses by means of a voltage to the frequency converter is then fed to the inverter bridge
for producing the variable voltage frequency output . the output is fed to the b induction
motor for controlling its speed.

ADVANTAGES
DISADVANTAGES
1) The inverter is same what bulking and expensive value to the large size of
the inductance and commentator capacitor ]
2) The response of the drive is somewhere shagging
3) The frequency range of the inverter is low it cannot operate under no load
condition as some minimum load current is required to commutate the
inverter satisfactory .
SLIP POWER
With voltage and frequency fixed speed of induction motor can be renewed by infection a
conductor e. m.f. into the rotor circuit of the motor this method is used for a wound rotor
induction motor slip power of the motor , this method is used rectified by a diode reaction
and is then pumped back to the A.C line through a line commutated inverter .

The torque pulsation and additional heating must be considered while designing the drive
system
DISADVATAGES
Connector 1[C1] act as a controlled rectified and feeds d.c power to convertor 2[ c.2]
Convertor because as a naturally commutated invertor whose A.C voltage and frequency
are established by the motor .
Consists of 3 cyclonverters connected to the three of the synchronous motor and one
controlled rectifier for supplying field exciting current if to the rotor each cycloconvertor is
composed of two 3-phax bridges.
And supplies a single phase output with a frequency of soH2, the cycloconvertor output
frequency can be varied from o to 10 HZ. This can vary the speed of motor 0 to 1 r.p.m.

INCOME
The basic supply will connect to this income it is also called SFU [ switch fuse unit ] it
contact one handle with the fuse unit ], once it is turned on supply will pass to the next
stage through fuse any major fault occurs inside panel board it will turn and it isolate
supply .
SELECTOR SWUTCH
Is used for ON/ OFF purposes and for selecting the mode of operation like auto manual .
starter are used for starting the motors safely mainly two types of stator are there . DOL
starter and star to delta , DOL stator is enough for the motor with power less than 10hp.
OVER LOAD RELAY
20
By Mr. Arusei
Is the protector of motor from the over load it senses the load current and tips if it
exceed the limit , current limit has to be set manually it should be 80% of the full load
current .
TIMER
Operation of timer is similar to relay but a delay is there for actuation , we can set the
time delay mankind according to our requirements , it is very much essential for star
to delta conversion .
CONTACTOR
Contactor is an essential components in the control panel . it actuates when the
signal from the controller [ PLC Relay logic ] comes . it is similar to relay it is
costlier than relay , it is used for a higher load .
When designing the control panel , the front panel is mainly for control circuit.
Quality of the curing methods used in an industrial control panel an vary quite widely ,
the goal is to produce a panel that is logically arranged and easy to maintain for the
life of control panel .
PANEL LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
Optimize space
Place PLC I/0 racks in the lay created by the wiring duct to allow room for the high
density of wires going to them from the duct . don’t leave space where there is no wiring
typically the top of the duct 1/0 rack. Place similar size devices in their own bay where
possible considered the routing of all the wires and the various voltage will be kept
separated SPACING BETWEEN wined device and wireless or other obstructions :
2’’minimum: 21/2-3 preferred for 120 VAC and lessos 4’’ for 480 Volts [ enough to insert
a closed fish between the device and the wire way another device or obstruction .
Keep the power components separate from the signal level components so that
maintenance and other engineers can work on the equipment without hazards being
present . how
1. Run as much as possible on 24 vcd. This wound include the plc.’s and most other
panel devices A safety panel would then house only there school and arc float
safe electrical components .
2. Power supply could be placed in a separate enclosure include in the main [ low
voltage ] panel and put group together and protected separately so that can be real
with then a tool when control panel door is opened .
3. Motor control running at anything over 50 volts should be contained in a separate
enclosure . try removing the motor controls away from the power device where
possible . this includes putting the HIM [key ][variable speed device ] for Example
on the out of the control panel , so that des not have to be opened .

CONFIGURATION OF PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLRS
1] Input
2] controller
All PLC’s have four major parts powder supply processor input module and output
modules .
Drawing
Input device seem as push button switches are wired directly to the input module and
any other control devices motor starter or solenoids are connected directly to the output
module .
The program in the PLC [controller ] will determine which switch will control which
output thus physical electrical wiring needs only to connect one time during the
installation process and the control circuit can be changed unlimited times through
simple changes to the ladder logic programmed .

- MOTOR MOUNTING
- CONTROL PANNEL [ NOTES IN OUTPUT]
- INSTRUMENTATION
For safe efficient working , electrical machine must be firmly mounted and
currently installed and connected to the supply .
There are three factors which need to be considered
- Mounting or fixing the motor in position.
- Coupling the motor to the load it has to drive
- Connecting the motor to the electrical supply
- MOUNTING
- Depends on the nature of surface which must support and hold the motor in a firm
position if the floor is as thick layer of concrete the motor may be directly bolted
to it or the concrete the motor may be directly bolted to it or the concrete may be
built up to a raw / bolt or rag bolts . if the motor is to be mounted on a wooden
board floor , the weight must be spread over several joists , the boards may also
require strengthening with extra wooded or steel joints at right angles to the
exciting joints .
- drwaing
GEER TRANSMISSION
When the motor and machine have to be mounted closer on each other and A relating
larger will be required reduction drives a multi-gear train or gear box will be required .
N/B with belt drives the speed of motor and machine pulley are inversely proportional to
their diameter the larger the diameter the lower the speed . with the chain and gear drives
the speed of the toothed wheels are inversely proportional to the number of teeth . the small
– toothed wheels are referred to as pinions , the larger ones as spur wheels .
On the driven machine requires a high starting torque . it is necessary for the motor to
start off –load and then take up the drive as it gather speed . this is achieved by special
designed couplings .
FLUID COUPLING
The two haves of the coupling have specially shaped blades which are not connected to
each other i.e. The motor and machine are not coupled in the stationary position . those
blades are not coupled in the oil and as the motor shaft begins to revolve , the half –
coupling on the motor shaft scopes the oil and flings it to start rotating slowly after a
while there will both run at full speed this can be used also to reduce the high starting
current of motors with required expensive types of electrical starters .
Eddy current
Uses electromagnet force A d.c current is connected to its the winging in the coupling the
motor and drive machine becomes magnetically connected .

DRAWING
System wiring from motor to supply depends on the site conditions . A flexible
connection to the terminal box is necessary to allow motor movement in alighting and belt
tensioning . A separate protection conduction is fixed on the flexible conductor .
Where MICC cables are used , a loop is made near the terminal box .
I.E.E. Regulation
Every motor must be provided with the means to stop and start the stop device to be within
easy reach of the operator
Provision must be made to prevent unexpected restart after stopping , owing to drop in
voltage , or failure of supply both are dangerous . one device could serve a group of motors
i.e. if several small motors are fed from a distribution board then a no-volt coil release
fitted in the supply to that board would be sufficient additional equipment to lock the motor
from supply if the motor is far from control equipment .
Every motor over 0.37kw must have means of protection against excess current.
Cables supplying the motor shall be rated at the full load current taken.

N/B when excess current flows its movement is delayed by the suction of oil on the plunger
in the dashboard. The delay time can be varied by different sized escape holes in the plunger .
this is mainly used on motor switching gears to prevent tripping operation during the start
period .
Note - for frequent stop starting the cables may have to be heavier because of heavier
starting current
- The motor excess current device operation is suitable for starting currents. Generally
all 3-phase motor installation require a separate sub- circuit from distribution fuse
board and suitable protection against excess current [overloads] and un expected
restart [ no volt release] isolation should be provided by the motor control gear.
- All terminals on three -phase supplies must be enclosed in earthed metal or in all-
insulated enclosures.
MACHINE CHECKS
Varies instruments are required to personal checks on machine either on operational
or standing . they include insulation tester continuity tester ductor tester feeler
gauge , spring balance, straight edges and string lines .
CONTINOUS TESTING
Checking ohmic value of winding carefully so that no false low value are obtained
if there are other connections e.g. ON controls that have low values .
DUCTOR TESTER

continuity tester e.g. 0.01Ω etc. the ductor circulate heavy current and measure

difficult to read with an armature winding of a heavy current d.c machine copper
bars in the rotor of a squirrel cage motor or the joints and termination on bus bur
and heavy current cable installation .
VIBRATION CONSIDARATION
To avoid transmission of vibration to adjoining parts of building or other foundation
, it is necessary to provide a suitable isolation between the equipment foundation
and the adjoining structure usually a gap is maintained all around the foundation for
the equipment and is filled by sand to avoid such transmission of vibration the
foundation for the equipment should not be allowed to serve as a support for other
structures.

When wiring is to be done for electric motors the following points should be followed
keeping in view the degree of protection necessary and desired economy.
-A separate circuit to be done for electric motors from fuse distribution board , this method
is generally adopted for a group of motors of small sizes .
-A separate circuit may be run to each motor from a distribution board . the fuses are to be
used in each brach circuit of ample capacity .
