4Core principles of electrical drives
Homopolar motors the first electrical motors
ever !
A true Lorentz force motor No commutation
required ! Continuous electric current results
in continuous torque

6Core principles of electrical drives
Bipolar motors replacing magnets by coils
First ever use of the main components of any DC
motor. - Stator - Rotor - Commutator Driven by
magnetic fields rather than by Lorentz forces !

7Core principles of electrical drives
Modern DC motors use coils in the rotor
Uses a different right hand rule !
Compare to the field around a permanent magnet
A coil that conducts electrical current creates a
magnetic field around itself

12Three different types DC motor
Perm. magnet or coil / brushed or brush-less
Permanent Magnets in stator or rotor
Coils in both stator and rotor
Permanent Magnet Direct Current (PMDC) and
Core-Less DC (CLDC)
Brush-Less Direct Current (BLDC)
Series/Shunt/Compound Wound Direct Current (SWDC
/ SHWDC / CWDC)
Many different types of DC electrical motors are
possible

strength
Relative Magnetic Field Strengths
Stronger motor by using stronger magnets is paid
for by lower maximal speed !

you pay for your gains

18Permanent Magnet DC motors
PMDC characteristic curves Voltage dependence
A given torque is always related to the same
electrical current ! Hence the useful definition
of the torque constant
Higher voltages increase speed torque but dont
affect currents

19Permanent Magnet DC motors
PMDC characteristic curves battery power
Voltage drops over long transmission lines or due
to other causes have similar effects. In real
life not always usage of regulated voltage
sources !
Battery packs are far from ideal power sources
this affects PMDC graphs

Time constant of coils is not the only limiting
factor
Graph of earlier slide is only valid for relative
short bursts of intermittent operation !

Coils need to off-load their heat to surroundings
that heat up as well !
