Chapter 15 DC Machines
Objectives • State Faraday’s Law and Lenz’s Law • Calculate the voltage generated by passing a wire through a magnetic field. • Sketch a simple generator and describe how it operates. • Describe a commutator and brush assembly and state how it works.
Objectives • Find the force produced on a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field. • State the differences between a shunt and compound dc generator and describe the performance characteristics of each. • Sketch a simple dc motor and describe how it operates. • State the differences among a shunt, series, and compound dc motor, and describe the performance characteristics and application examples of each.
15-2 Magnetic Induction and the DC Generator • Faraday’s Law e = N dΦ / dt • e = the induced voltage in volts (V) • N = the number of series-connected turns of wire in turns (t) • dΦ/dt = rate of change in flux in Webers/second (Wb/s) • e = B L v • B = the flux density in teslas (T) • L = the length of the conductor that is in the magnetic field in meters (m) • v = the relative velocity between the wire and the flux, in meters/second (m/s)
15-3 Shunt and Compound DC Generator • Shunt Generator Model • Compound Generator Model • Efficiency
Generator Efficiency • Pin = T nr / 7.04 • Pin = the input power in watts (W) • T = the input shaft torque in foot-pounds (ft-lbs) • nr = the rotation speed of the shaft in revolutions per minute (rpm) • η = Pout / Pin = Vt It / (T nr / 7.04) • η = the efficiency (dimensionless) • Vt = the generator terminal voltage in volts (V) • It = the generator output current in amperes (A)
Generator Losses • Rotor Copper Loss • This is the I2R loss in the rotor due to the resistance of the wire. • This loss varies with the square of the rotor current. • Rotor Core Loss • Because the rotor core (the iron upon which the rotor windings are wound) is rotating inside a magnetic field, there will be eddy current and hysteresis losses in the rotor core. • These losses vary with the field flux and the rotor speed. • Field Copper Loss • The I2R loss in the field windings due to the resistances of the wire. • This loss varies with the square of the field current.
Generator Losses (continued) • Brush Loss • There is power loss in the brush-commutator interface. • This loss is proportional to the rotor current and brush drop and is VbIa. • Friction • These are losses due to mechanical friction. • They include the friction of the shaft bearings and the friction created by the commutator and brush assembly. • Windage • These are losses due to the wind resistance of the rotor. • In most generators, cooling fins are attached to the rotor to circulate air through the generator, thus promoting cooling and allowing the generator to be operated at higher output currents. • These cooling fins increase the windage loss.
15-4 Motor Action and the DC Motor • F = B L I • F = the resulting mechanical force in newtons (N) • B = the flux density in teslas (T) • L = the effective length of the wire (meters) in the field multiplied by the number of turns • I = the current in the conductor in amperes (A) • Ia(start) = (Vt – Vb) / Ra • Ia(start) = the armature starting current in amperes (A) • Vt = the applied voltage in volts (V) • Vb = the brush drop in volts (V) • Ra = the armature resistance in ohms (Ω) • Ia = (Vt – Vb – Vcemf) / Ra • Vcemf = the induced counter emf in the armature windings in volts (V).
15-5 Shunt, Series, and Compound DC Motor • Shunt Motor • Series Motor • Compound Motor • Motor Efficiency
Motor Efficiency • η = Pout / Pin = (T nr / 7.04) / (Vt It) • η = the efficiency (dimensionless) • Pout = the output power in watts (W) • Pin = the input power in watts (W) • T = the shaft torque in foot pounds (ft-lb) • nr = the rotor speed in revolutions per minute (rpm) • Vt = the applied input voltage in volts (V) • It = the applied input current in amperes (A) • For a separately excited motor: • η = (T nr / 7.04) / (Vt It + Vf If) • Vf = the field voltage in volts (V) • If = the field current in amperes (A)
15-6 Dynamic Braking of DC Motors • In dynamic braking the armature is connected to a resistive load after removing power, the energy stored in the rotor in the form of angular momentum will be transferred to the resistive load, rapidly decreasing the rotor speed. • When plugging a motor, the motor is momentarily reconnected in such a way as to reverse the direction of rotation. This can cause excessive line currents and excessive torque on the rotor.
