CEMF is determined by.

1: The number of turns of wire in the armature.


2: The strength of the magnetic field of the pole pieces.


3: The speed of the cutting action.

Difference between DC motors and Generators

Generators take mechanical energy and convert it into electrical energy

Torque is determined by

1: The strength of the magnetic field of the pole pieces. 2: The strength of the magnetic field of the armature.

The comutator is the same in a DC motor and generator. True or False

True

How does a comutator work differently in a DC Motor.

It works as a rotary switch in a motor where it works as a rectifier for the generator.

When unloaded, the armature speed will continue to increase until?

CEMF is roughly equal to the applied EMF.

As load is added to the motor: -Exisiting torque is insufficient\sufficient to maintain speed. -Armature rotation increases\slows due to insufficient torque. -CEMF increases\decreases due to slowed speed of rotation. -Current flow in armature increases\decreases due to decreased CEMF. -Magnetic field strength increases\decreases with increase in current flow. -Torque increases\decreases due to increase in field strength.

Insufficient, slows, decreases, increases, increases, increases

DC Shunt Motors are constructed by connecting the armature winding in _________ with a shunt field winding.

Parallel

Windings made of smaller gauge wire with more turns.

Shunt

Windings with large wire and fewer turns.

Series

Shunt motors feature excellent speed characteristics, and are generally referred to as

Constant speed motors

Full-load speed is generally within ___% of the no-load speed.

10%

The regulation of speed by a DC shunt motor is primarily dependent on the


resistance of the armature

Assuming the excitation current produced by the shunt field is held constant, armature current determines.

torque

Current flow through the armature is determined by the

resistance of the armature, and the CEMF that is induced into the winding.

CEMF Equation

E (cemf) = I (load) x R (armiture)

The operation of a DC Series motor is significantly different from the Shunt motor, and results in excellent _______ characteristics

Torque

Because the series field is connected in series with the armature winding, the current that flows through the armature is equal in magnitude to the current in the

series field.

As load is added to the DC series motor: -Torque is insufficient\sufficient to meet new load demand. -Motor rotation increases\slows due to torque. -CEMF increases\decreases due to armature rotation. -Current increases\decreases due to CEMF. -Torque increases\decreases due to current flow.

Insufficient, slows, decreases, increases, increases.

If motor current increases 2X, torque will increase _X.


If current increases by 3x torque increases by _x

4x, 9x

Series motors are capable of generating very high starting torque, averaging ___% of the rated full-load torque.

450%

DC Series motor should always be __________ to the load being driven.

directly coupled

A motor with differential compounding starts with its rotation being determined by the polarity of the shunt winding. As load increases, the series field strength will increase. If enough load is added, the series field, which is connected in the opposite polarity, will

take over, causing a sudden and violent change in rotation.

When connecting a DC Compound motor, the following procedure should be followed to prevent a differential connection.

1: Disconnect the motor from the load.2: Connect the armature and series windings to form a series motor.


3: Briefly apply power to determine the direction of rotation. If the motor turns in the opposite direction as desired, reverse the polarity of the connections.


4: Connect the shunt winding of the motor, apply power, and observe rotation.

Field loss relay is designed to prevent the motor from becoming a series motor in the event that the

Stunt winding is lost.

The coil of the relay is connected in _______ with the shunt winding. As long as current is flowing through the winding, the relay’s NO contact in the control circuit will remain closed.

Series

Reverse motor direction by switching witch 2 leads
