Applications of DC Motors: A dc motor in spite of its high cost as compared to an induction motor is still competitive in applications requiring control speed as its speed can be varied over a wide range by (i) fi eld control, (ii) armature control, or (iii) a combination of the two.
dc MOTOR APPLICATIONS
The dc motors have high starting torque compared to induction motor; hence, there is faster load
deceleration.
Shunt Motor Applications
Medium starting torque; speed regulation 5–15%.
Application: centrifugal pumps, conveyors, machine tools, printing presses, etc.
Series Motor Applications
High torque at low speed and low torque at high speed; high starting torque (as much as 5 T (fl )); good speed control possible.
Application: traction, hoists, crane, battery-powered vehicles, etc.
Compound Motor Applications
Differentially compound motor is ideally suited for pulsating loads (needing fl ywheel action).
Application: Rolling mill, etc
