INTERVIEW QUESTION OF DC MOTOR Part 2

Q1.What is the principle of the DC Motor ?
A. If the current carrying conductor is placed in the maganetic field, mechanical forced is experienced on the conductor, and the direction of the force is given by the Fleming's left hand rule and hence conductor moves in the direction of force.     F  = B I L                   where   F = force
                                                        B = magnetic field strength W/m2
                                                        I  = Current in Amp.
                                                        L = length of conductor in meter


Q2. What is the back emf ?
A.  When the motor armature continues to rotate due to motot action the armature conductor cuts te magentic flux, and therefore emf are induced in them the direction of this induced emf is such that it oppose the applied voltage therefore this is called Back emf. .

Q3. Why the DC motors are mostly gear motor ?
A. Because the low speed motor are much more expensive than high speed motors of the same kW o/p rating.

Q4. What is the suitable dc motor for electric traction ?
A. DC series motor.

Q5.  What is the suitable dc motor for vacuum cleaner ?
A. DC series motor.

Q6.  What is the suitable dc motor for paper making ?
A.  DC cumulative compound motor.

Q7. What is the suitable dc motor for shearing and punching ?
A. DC cumulative compound motor.

Q8. What will be the effect on the direction of rotation of dc motor if the supply terminal are reversed ?
A. No effect because direction of the rotation changes when the direction of magnetic field changes.

Q9. Why series motors are preferred for traction purpose ?
A. due to large starting torque and slow down with the increase the load and automatically relieved from the heavy excessive load.

Q10. How can the direction of the dc motor be determined ?
A. By applying Fleming's left hand rule .

Practical Commutation

The e.m.f. induced in each coil of armature is alternating in nature. If load is connected, the current flowing will also be alternating. But the flow of current in a d.c. generator must be undirectional. This can be achieved by the use of commutator. When the armature conductors are under the influence of one pole they carry current in one direction whereas the current is reversed when the conductors are under the influence of other pole. This reversal of current takes place along the magnetic neutral axis. Fig. 1 Note : The reversal of current is likely to take place in short interval when a coil is short circuited by a brush so that transfer of current from one direction to other is carried out without any sparking. This process is called commutation.        Thus a process by which current in the short circuited coil is reversed while it crosses the MNA is called commutation. The time during which the coil remains short circuited is known as...

Demagnetising and Cross Magnetizing Conductors

The conductors which are responsible for producing demagnetizing and distortion effects are shown in the Fig.1. Fig. 1        The brushes are lying along the new position of MNA which is at angle θ  from GNA. The conductors in the region AOC = BOD = 2θ  at the top and bottom of the armature are carrying current in such a direction as to send the flux in armature from right to left. Thus these conductors are in direct opposition to main field and called demagnetizing armature conductors.         The remaining armature conductors which are lying in the region AOD and BOC carry current in such a direction as to send the flux pointing vertically downwards i.e. at right angles to the main field flux. Hence these conductors are called cross magnetizing armature conductors which will cause distortion in main field flux.        These conductors are shown in the Fig. 2 Fig. 2  ...

Winding Pitches

Now we will consider the definitions of different types of winding pitches, required in the design of the armature winding. 1.1 Back Pitch         The distance which is measured interns of armature conductors i.e. between top and bottom coil sides of a coil measured around the back of the armature i.e. away from the commutator is called back pitch and is denoted by . It is measured interms of coil sides. Note : Since it is difference between odd and even number, it is always odd number.        The size of the coil is decided by the back pitch. The back pitch is normally equal to coilsides per pole. It is shown for lap and wave type of winding in the Fig. 1. Fig. 1        The back pitch for the winding shown in the Fig. 1 is y b = 14 - 1 = 13 as coilsides 1and 14 are of coil number 1. 1.2 Front Pitch        It is defined as the distance measured between two c...
