Permanent Magnet
Wound Field
Universal
Single Phase
3. DC MOTOR
Consists of rotor
and stator
DC voltage is
applied to rotor
through carbon
brushes
6. DC MOTORS
DC controlled by an H-
bridge consisting of
four power switches.
They enable you to
adjust the motor
voltage and polarity
using the Pulse Width
Modulation (PWM)
technique. Thus speed
and direction of the
motor can be
controlled.
7. AC (ALTERNATING CURRENT)
MOTORS
Lack of permanent magnets,
magnetic induction to develop flux in the rotor
less expensive than the PM rotor
larger size, weight and inertia as compared to the
same rating for a PM brushless motor.
Common type of rotor used with asynchronous
motor is squirrel cage
No electrical connection between the stator and
the rotor
8. ASYNCHRONOUS MOTOR
The difference between the rotor speed
and the rotating magnetic field is known
as slip
Slip is dependent on load

11. BLDC MOTORS
Brushless Type
• the rotor incorporates the magnets
• the stator contains the windings
• Controlling brushless motors(electronic commutation) is more
complicated than controlling brush motors(mechanical
commutation)
• Brushless motors need to know the electrical position to
perform commutation.
There are two main commutation methods used in industry today:
• sine-wave
• six-step
12. SIX STEP COMMUTATION
the drive and
feedback devices
can be simpler
higher torque
ripple
the efficiency of
torque production
is lower
Step Current flow
1 From phase A to phase B
2 From phase A to phase C
3 From phase B to phase C
4 From phase B to phase A
5 From phase C to phase A
6 From phase C to phase B
14. SINEWAVE COMMUTATION
current in all three windings
simultaneously
produce the smoothest and most efficient
torque possible
extend the speed range
increase torque output
Allow angle advance
IA = IT * sin(Elec Position)
IB = IT * sin(Elec Position - 120 degrees)
IC = IT * sin(Elec Position - 240 degrees)

• Industrial drive
• Servo drives
• Electric vehicle traction drive
• Automotive applications
• Refrigerator
• AirConditioning
• Fan
18. STEPPER MOTORS
Commutation of current through discrete stator windings resulting
in the synchronous rotation (stepping) of the rotor
Speed is proportional with the frequency of commutation pulses
No real-time feedback is provided
Low cost solution for position control
Inherent "zero-following" error in servo systems
Easy to interface to digital controllers
Inherently high torque/position gain resulting in excellent holding
torque
Limited holding torque available even when the motor is
unpowered
Heat is generated in the stator and is easy to remove
