Since the speed of an AC motor depends on the frequency of the alternating current that
drives it, it turns at a constant speed unless you use a variable-frequency drive; the speed of
DC motors is much easier to control simply by turning the supply voltage up or down.
Though relatively simple, AC motors can be fairly heavy and bulky because of their coil
windings. Unlike DC motors, they cannot be driven from batteries or any other source of DC
power (solar panels, for example) without using an inverter (a device that turns DC into AC).
That's because they need a changing magnetic field to turn the rotor.
3. DC machine can be operated either as a motor or generator. Discuss its principle
when it is operated as a motor and a generator.
DC motor
Figure 4
Consider a coil in a magnetic field of flux density B in figure 4.When armature windings are
connected to a DC supply, current sets up in the winding. Magnetic field may be provided by
field winding (electromagnetism) or by using permanent magnets. In this case, current
carrying armature conductors experience force due to the magnetic field, according to the
principle stated above.A force is exerted on the coil as a result of the interaction of magnetic
field and electric current. The force on the two sides of the coil is such that the coil starts to
move in the direction of force. In an actual DC motor, several such coils are wound on the
rotor, all of which experience force, resulting in rotation.
DC generator
DC machine is operated as a motor when when it is converts mechanical energy to electrical
energy. The principle of the operation of a dc motor is that whenever a conductor moves in a
magnetic field, voltage is induced in a conductor. In generating action, the process is reversed
from motoring action. In this case, the rotating structure, the rotor is driven by a prime mover
such a steam turbine or a diesel engine. A voltage will be iinduced in the conductors that are
rotating with the rotor. If an electrical load is connected to the winding formed by these
conductors, a current wiil flow, delivering electoral power to the load. Moreover, the current
flowing through the conductor will interact with the magnetic field to produce a reaction
torque, which will tend to oppose the torque applied by the prime mover.
