DC MOTOR 
• A DC motor or Direct 
Current Motor converts 
electrical energy into 
mechanical energy. 
• A direct current (DC) motor is a fairly simple electric 
motor that uses electricity and a magnetic field to 
produce torque, which turns the rotor and hence give 
mechanical work.
PRINCIPLE OF DC MOTORS 
• In any electric motor, operation is 
based on simple 
electromagnetism. 
• When a current-carrying 
conductor is placed in an external 
magnetic field, it will experience a 
force i.e. Lorentz force. 
• Due to this force torque is 
produced which rotates the rotor 
of motor and hence a motor runs.
CONSTRUCTION 
• DC motor consist of 2 windings… 
1. Field winding. 
2. Armature winding. 
• Field winding is stationary and 
armature winding can rotate 
freely. 
• Field windings when given DC 
supply, magnetic field is produced. 
• Armature winding when 
connected to DC source, shaft 
connected to it rotates due to 
Lorentz force.
WORKING OF DC MOTORS
TYPES OF DC MOTORS 
• DC motor are of 3 types they are….. 
1. DC SHUNT MOTOR 
2. DC SERIES MOTOR 
3. DC COMPOUND MOTOR
1. DC SHUNT MOTOR 
Armature 
• The parallel combination of two 
windings is connected across a 
common dc power supply. 
• The resistance of shunt field 
winding (Rsh) is always higher 
than that is armature winding. 
• This is because the number of 
turns for the field winding is more 
than that of armature winding. 
• The cross-sectional area of the 
wire used for field winding is 
smaller than that of the wire used 
for armature winding.
2. DC SERIES MOTOR 
• The field winding is connected in 
series with the armature. 
• The current passing through the 
series winding is same as the 
armature current . 
• Therefore the series field winding 
has fewer turns of thick wire than 
the shunt field winding. 
• Also therefore the field winding 
will posses a low resistance then 
the armature winding.

I. LONG SHUNT COMPOUND MOTOR 
• In this the series winding is 
connected in series with the 
armature winding and the 
shunt winding is connected in 
parallel with the armature 
connection.
II. SHORT SHUNT COMPUND MOTOR 
• In short shunt compound 
motor the series winding is 
connected in series to the 
parallel combination of 
armature and the shunt 
winding 
• This is done to get good 
starting torque and constant 
speed characteristics.
a) CUMULATIVE COMPOUND DC MOTORS 
• If the two field windings i.e. series and 
shunt are wounded in such a way that the 
fluxes produced by them add or assist 
each other 
b) DIFFERENTIAL COMPOUND DC MOTORS 
• If the two field winding i.e. series and 
shunt are wounded in such a way that the 
fluxes produced by them always try to 
oppose and try to cancel each other.
