There are mainly three types of electric motor. 1. DC Motor 2. Induction Motor 3. Synchronous Motor. All of these motors work in more or less same principle. Working of electric motor mainly depends upon the interaction of magnetic field with current. Now we will discuss the basic operating principle of electric motor one by one for better understanding the subject. Working of DC Motor Working principle of DC Motor mainly depends upon Fleming Left Hand rule. In a basic DC motor, an armature is placed in between magnetic poles. If the armature winding is supplied by an external DC source, current starts flowing through the armature conductors. As the conductors are carrying current inside a magnetic field, they will experience a force which tends to rotate the armature. Suppose armature conductors under N poles of the field magnet, are carrying current downwards (crosses) and those under S poles are carrying current hipdhwwrelecticalu.comivorking-t-electic-mtor! ws0a20%6 Wirking of Electric Mota | Electrica upwards (dots). By applying Fleming's Left hand Rule, the direction of force F, experienced by the conductor under N poles and the force experienced by the conductors under S-poles can be determined, It is found that at any instant the forces experienced by the conductors are in such a direction that they tend to rotate the armature.

While the conductors go form N-poles to S-pole and S-poles to N-pole, the direction of current through them, is reversed by means of commutator. Due to this reversal of current, all the conductors come under N-poles carry current in downward direction and all the conductors come under S-poles carry current in upward direction as shown in the figure. Hence, every conductor comes under N-pole experiences force in same direction and same is true for the conductors come under S-poles. This phenomenon helps to develop continuous and unidirectional torque. dc motor hip dhwwrw electrical comivorking-t-electic-mtor!sonan016 Working of Electric Motor | Elecrcal4u Worl g of Induction Motor Working of electric motor in the case of induction motor is little bit different from DC motor. In single phase induction motor, when a single phase supply is given to the stator winding, a pulsating magnetic field is produced and in a three phase induction motor, when three phase supply is given to three phase stator winding, a rotating magnetic field is produced. The rotor of an induction motor is either wound type or squirrel cadge type. Whatever may be the type of rotor, the conductors on it are shorted at end to form closed loop. Due to rotating magnetic field, the flux passes through the air gap between rotor and stator, sweeps past the rotor surface and so cuts the rotor conductor. Hence according to Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, there would be a induced current circulating in the closed rotor conductors. The amount of induced current is proportional to the rate of change of flux linkage with respect to time, Again this rate of change of flux linkage is proportional to the relative speed between rotor and rotating magnetic field. As per Lenz law the rotor will try to reduce the every cause of producing current in it. Hence the rotor rotates and tries to achieve the speed of rotating magnetic field to reduce the relative speed between rotor and rotating magnetic field. induction motor Working of schronous Motoryn In synchronous motor, when balanced three phase supply is given to the stationary three phase stator winding, a rotating magnetic field is produced which rotates at synchronous speed, Now if an electromagnet is placed inside this rotating magnetic field, it is magnetically locked with the rotating magnetic field and the former rotates with the rotating magnetic field hipdhwwrelecticalu.comivorking-t-electic-mtor!sonan016 Working of Electric Motor | Elecrcal4u at same speed that is at synchronous speed, synchronous motor Certified Associate in Project Management 5700+ Learners Earn up to 10 lakhs a year simplilearn “sow vers hipdhwwrelecticalu.comivorking-t-electic-mtor!so2sr016 Working of Electric Motor | Elecrealau « Previous Closely Related Articles Electrical Motor | Types Classification and History of Motor More Related Articles DC Motor or Direct Current Motor Speed Regulation of DC Motor Speed Control of DC Motor Working or Operating Principle of DC Motor Torque Equation of DC Motor Construction of DC Motor | Yoke Poles Armature Field Winding Commutator Brushes of DC Motor Lap Winding Simplex and Duplex Lap Winding Testing of DC Machine Swinburne Test of DC Machine Losses in DC Machine Ward Leonard Method of Speed Control hipdhwwrelecticalu.comivorking-t-electic-mtor!so2sr016 Working of Electric Motor | Elecrealau Armature Reaction in DC Machine Commutation in DC Machine or Commutation in DC Generator or Motor Methods of Improving Commutation Starting Methods to limit Starting Current and Torque of DC Motor 3 Point Starter | Working Principle and Construction of Three Point Starter 4 Point Starter | Working Principle and Construction of Four Point Starter ‘Types of DC Motor Separately Excited Shunt Series Compound DC Motor Shunt Wound DC Motor | DC Shunt Motor Series Wound DC Motor or DC Series Motor Compound Wound DC Motor or DC Compound Motor Permanent Magnet DC Motor or PMDC Motor | Working Principle Construction Brushless DC Motors New Articles Piezoelectricity Dielectric Materials Magnetic Susceptibility Advantages of Bundled Conductors Bundled Conductors Used in Transmission Line Backup Relay Please provide your valuable comments Name : - Enter your name here Email : - Enter your email here Location : - Enter your location hipdhwwrelecticalu.comivorking-t-electic-mtor!so2sr016 Working of Electric Motor | Elecrealau Your content : - Enter your content here Enter the above code here LIKE US ON facebook © 2011-2016 electrical4u.The content is copyrighted to electrical4u and may not be reproduced on other websites, hipdhwwrelecticalu.comivorking-t-electic-mtor!
