Speed and Torque of a Series Wound DC Motor
The Series wound DC motor has a relationship between current and amount of torque is produced. The torque is directly proportional to current over a range of graph. As the armature current increases, the magnetic field strengthens, leading to a greater force between the field and the armature conductors, resulting in higher torque. The stronger magnetic field interacts with the current-carrying conductors in the armature, generating a more significant force between them. Series wound DC motor becomes extremely essential as starter motors for most industrial applications dealing in heavy mechanical load like huge cranes or large metal chunks etc. Series wound DC motors are operated for a very small time about only a few seconds, just for the purpose of starting.
By understanding this relationship between speed and torque is vital for selecting the right type of DC motor for your specific application.
Series Wound DC Motor or DC Series Motor
In electric motors, the series wound DC motor or DC series motor is one of the types of self-excited DC motor. The field winding of the series wound DC motor is internally connected to the armature winding and stands out for its robust starting torque and unique characteristics. Whereas in the shunt wound DC motor, the field winding is connected in parallel with the armature winding.
In this article, we will cover the topics of Construction, Voltage and current equation, Speed regulation and with the advantages, disadvantages and applications of series wound DC motor or DC Series Motor.
