What is Permanent Magnet DC Motor (PMDC Motor)? Construction, Diagram & Applications

Permanent magnet motors are similar to conventional DC motors except the use of permanent magnet to produce flux instead of field winding. The use of high energy permanent magnet in the motors which advances in the field for the purpose of simplicity and low initial cost has led to the formation of new class of […]

What is Retardation Test (or Running Down Test) of DC Motor? Theory & Circuit Diagram

Retardation Test is used for finding the efficiency of shunt wound DC machines. In this test, the rotational losses or stray losses are measured and from their knowledge efficiency at any desired load can be determined. Figure 1: Arrangement of Retardation Test.

What are Interpoles in DC Machines? Theory, Connection Diagram & Uses

Figure 1: Interpoles. Interpoles are small poles placed in between the main poles of a D.C generator as shown in figure (1). Interpoles are also known as commutating poles or com poles. In generators, the polarity of the inter pole is same as the main pole which is ahead of it in the direction of
