STARTING OF DC MOTORS

-

 Important Points
  • When a differentially compounded motor is started, the starting current may be high enough to reverse the flux polarity and thus motor would start in reverse direction. However, since reverse field is weak, the acceleration may be low and thus starting current would remain high for long time and can thus damage the machine. So, series field winding is shorted while starting and when motor acquires normal speed, shorting may be removed.
  • Sometimes, due to sudden overload in uncompensated shunt machine, the demagnetizing effect may be dominant and can cause sudden runaway. This is prevented by providing a few series turns to neutralize armature reaction (AR) and hence make it cumulatively compounded.
Starting of DC Motors
At Starting, the speed of DC Motor is zero and hence the induced emf which is proportional to speed of Motor is also zero. Due to which,

Vt = Ia Ra     for Shunt Motor and Separately Excited Motor
Vt = Ia (Ra + Rse)     for Series and Compound Motor

Ia = Vt / Ra  or  Vt / (Ra + Rse)    Which is very high as Ra  and  (Ra + Rse) are very small

Such heavy current may cause,
  • Sparking at Commutator
  • Damage to armature winding and insulation 
  • High starting torque and acceleration 
  • Large dips in supply voltage
So this current must be limited by inserting a resistance in the armature circuit, But this resistance must be cut off as rotor accelerates else
  • Operating speed of motor will be reduced 
  • Losses will be higher and efficiency will be less
For shunt and compound motors, field excitation must be maximum at starting, as large flux results in less operating speed. Also, since T ∝ ⲪIa , for a given load torque, requirement of Ia is reduced at higher Ⲫ.


Shunt and Compound Motors

The simplest type of starter is a rheostat inserted in series with the armature circuit.




The other method which is more commonly used is Four Point Starter.


Four Point Starter









  • There are four terminals L, N, F and A and hence it is called as Four Point Starter.
  • Initially, all the resistances are connected in series with the armature so that starting torque is low. As the motor speeds up the resistance are cut out with the help of starter handle.
  • Finally, the soft iron piece attached to Starter Handle is attracted by 'No Volt Coil' which is excited by supply voltage so that handle is kept static. In case supply voltage is removed this coil gets demagnetized and spring connected to handle brings the handle back to its original position.
  • In case of overload the overload piece attracts the lever and triangular iron piece short circuits the holding coil causing release of starter handle and thus turning off the motor.

Ideal Transformer (1-phase) Operation Under Load

 What is Ideal Transformer ? An ideal transformer is a transformer with the following assumptions: Permeability of transformer is infinite. Iron loss in the transformer core are zero. Resistance of transformer winding is zero. No magnetic leakage flux, so coefficient of coupling is  1 . Magnetization curve of transformer is linear. Operation of Ideal transformer under load Schematic diagram of an ideal, 1-phase transformer under load When a finite impedance load Z L   is connected across the secondary terminals of a 1-phase transformer as shown in above figure, the load current I 2   flows through the secondary winding and the load. load current I 2   is given by:- I 2  = V 2 / Z L How will MMFs Produce ? A voltage source V 1   is connected to the primary winding. Due to this voltage V 1  primary current I 1   flowing through N 1   number of turns in the primary winding produces an MMF  N 1 .I 1   which creates the flux Ⲫ in the core. This flux links with the secondary coil and induc

Compensating Winding

Compensating Winding The cross magnetizing armature reaction effect that causes concentration of flux under one pole tip is caused mainly by the conductors that lie under the pole are. When the machines are heavily loaded, the flux density at these tips become very high resulting in higher than normal induced voltage between concerned adjacent commutator segments. This may cause a spark over between adjacent commutator segments more so because these coils are physically close to the commutation zone where air temperature is high and favorable for spark over. This may lead to other segments also getting involved and resulting in fire over entire commutator segment. Also if load is rapidly fluctuating (e.g. rolling machine), L(di/dt) voltage of coils may became high enough to start a spark over between adjacent commutator segments. This phenomenon will start from the coil under the pole center and it would have maximum. This problem is more acute when load is decrea
