DC Machine


ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY
WHAT IS DC MACHINE?
The DC machine can be used as either a motor or a generator. However, applications requiring operation of the DC machine as a generator are limited, while applications requiring the DC machine as a motor are commonplace. DC motors are the obvious choice in applications where DC sources are all that is available(e.g., automotive systems).
One capability that DC machines possess that induction and synchronous machines do not is precise speed and/or torque control. Many industrial applications require motors with a high degree of-flexibility in the control of speed and torque making the DC machine the machine of choice.
DC generator is a machine which convert mechanical energy to electrical. The energy conversion is based on the principal of production of dynamically induced e.m.f. when ever conductor cuts the magnetic field e.m.f. induced according to Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. This e.m.f. produced current if the conductor circuit is closed.
DC motor is a machine that convert electrical energy to mechanical energy. Its action is based in the principle that when current carring conductor is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a mechanical force whose direction is given by Fleming’s left-hand rule.
