THE DC MOTORS

I. An electric motor is a machine for converting electrical energy into mechanical energy.

5.energy

II. Motors can be designed to run on direct (dc) or alternating current (ac).

6. to design 7.to run

III. The motor decribed in this text is a dc motor

8 to decribe

IV. Its most important components are the rotor , the stator and the brushgear

V.The rotor is the moving part

XIV. Carbon brushes are held in contact with the commutator by springs .

XV. These brushes allow current to pass to armature winding .

XVI. As the rator turns , the commutator acts as a switch making the current in the armature alterrnate

XVII. The stator dose not move

XVIII. It consists of magnetic and electrical conductors .

XIX. The magnetic circuit is made up of the frame and poles.

XX. Wound round the poles are the field coils .

XXI . These form the stators electrical circuit .

XXII. When current is fed to them , a magnetic field is set up in the stator .

XXIII. The motor operates on the principle that when a current-carrying conductor is placed

in a mgnetic field , a force is produced on the conductor .

XXIV. The interraction of the forces produced by the magnetic field of the rotor and the stator makes

the rotor spin
