Constant power If an output or loss power is onstant for all speeds, then the torque is inversely proportional to the speed. his is highly unlikely in real life. Proportional to speed If a power is proportional to speed, then the torque is onstant with speed. Conversely, if a torque is onstant for all speeds, the power is proportional to speed. bit more likely in real life. orque proportional to speed Power is proportional to the square of the speed pproximates more real-life loads, torque required to turn a load usually inreases with speed.

If you look at the motor of an C devie and see brushes and a ommutator, then it is a universal motor. S L S It is easy to vary the speed of these motors by hanging the average voltage, usually with a thyristor-based ontrol similar to a light dimmer. Universal motors tend to be very noisy. When used with C supply, the indutane of the windings beomes important. Compounded Motor motor with both shunt and series field windings. Covered in your book, starting on p. 40. Brushless Many Brushless DC motors simply replae the ommutator with a rotor position sensor (magneti (Hall effet) opti, indutive, et.) and power-eletroni iruitry whih swithes the winding urrent. he field is usually on the rotor (permanent magnet or a winding fed through slip rings) and the armature windings are stationary. hese motors are analyzed just like DC motors with brushes. Many DC fans are made this way. Many Brushless DC motors are atually 3-phase Synhronous or Indution motors driven by power-eletroni iruitry whih produes variable-frequeny, Pulse-Width-Modulated (PWM), 3-phase power to operate the motor. tually, they don't have to be 3-phase, as long as they have at least phases., 3, 4, and 6 phases are ommon. Brushless motors have some important advantages. hey are mehanially simpler and more reliable. hey an be operated in environments where the sparking between brushes and ommutator would be undesirable or unsafe. hey are relatively quiet. Some sample waveforms are shown on the next page. p6

Unfortunately, it is often an ineffiient proess. Pulse Width Modulation, shown here, is a very effiient. It is also more linear, espeially at low speeds. he torque - speed urves do not show these non-linearities-- due largely to the differene between stati and dynami frition. (Motors are often a bit stiky at startup.) Higher speed t If you do use PWM to ontrol a motor, it is important to remember that the indutane within the windings will not allow the urrent to go to zero instantaneously. diode (alled a flybak, flywheel, or freewheel diode when used like this) provides a path for the urrent still flowing through the motor when a pulse is swithed off. I D t H-bridge: Of ourse, if you want to make the motor turn in both diretions you'll need a more omplex iruit. Look at the iruit at right, it's has the shape of an H, hene the name. If transistors Q 1 and Q 4 are on, then the urrent flows as shown, left-to-right through the motor. If transistors Q and Q 3 are on, then the urrent flows the other way through the motor and the motor will turn in the opposite diretion. (he motor here is a permanent-magnet DC motor.) In my iruit, the top two transistors are PNPs, whih makes the iruit more effiient. he H-bridge ould also be made with all NPNs or with power MOSFE transistors. n H-bridge requires four inputs, all operated in onert. o turn on Q 1 and Q 4, as shown, in1 would have to be low and in4 would have to be high. t the same time, the other two transistors would have to be off, so in would have to be high and in3 would have to be low. p7
If the ontrol iruit makes a mistake and turns on Q 1 and Q 3 (or Q and Q 4 ) at the same time you'll have a toaster instead of a motor driver, at least for a short while. he iruit at left requires only two inputs. ransistors Q 5 and Q 6 work as inverters, when their inputs are high, their outputs are low and vie-versa. he resistors are known as pull-up resistors. he H-bridge should also inlude flybak diodes. p8 Regenerative Braking Eletri motors are not limited to onverting eletrial energy to mehanial. hey an also onvert energy from mehanial to eletrial. If that is done for the purpose of mehanial braking, say in an eletri ar, then it's alled Regenerative Braking. It is a way reover kineti energy when slowing a moving mass, or potential energy of a mass moving from a higher to a lower elevation. Examples: a ar oming to a stop at a traffi light or driving down Parley's anyon. his reovered energy an be used to reharge batteries or simply be wasted in resistors. Eletri lawnmowers and some eletri drills use this tehnique to stop the moving parts very quikly for safety. rmature Reation his phenomenon is well explained in your book, starting on p.37. One effet is a shift of the neutral plane of the field flux. his is a small twisting of the overall North - South orientation and an inrease the sparking at the brushes. If the load and rotation diretion are known and onstant, a small twist of the brush loation (in the same diretion) will help mitigate the sparking. Interpoles (shown on p. 379) are a better solution. Please note that Fig. 8-11 on p. 374 is for a generator and that ω will be in the opposite diretion for a motor. he other effet is an overall flux weakening due to ore saturation. few series windings to shore up the flux at high loads an help with this. Brush Loss Sometimes the voltage drop aross the brush-ommutator onnetion is also onsidered. his voltage drop is usually estimated at about for both brushes, regardless of the armature urrent.
