Basically AC motors would not work on DC supply but there's however an exception for a Universal motor also known as a series motor. This is the only motor as far as I know that work on both AC and DC.

When the dc motor is connected across an AC supply then?

It depends on the construction of the motor. If the field winding is connected in series with the armaturewinding, the motor is like a universal motor and will probably operate normally. If the field winding is connected in parallel with the armature, the motor will not run, but will draw current, make noise and get hot.


What happen applying dc supply to ac induction motor?

It depends on whether the field winding of the dc motor is connected in series or in shunt with the armature winding.If it is connected in series,the motor will rotate since the torque,which varies as the product of the armature and field current is always positive.Thus,a positive average torque causes the motor to rotate,however the pulsating nature may cause the commutator segments and brushes to wear out. Thus only small sized dc motors may be used with ac supply.

What is the theory of conversion of AC to DC using 3-phase induction motor and DC shunt generator?

The theory of converting AC to DC using a 3-phase induction motor and a DC shunt generator involves utilizing the induction motor to mechanically drive the shunt generator. When the induction motor is powered by a three-phase AC supply, it operates and drives the rotor of the connected DC shunt generator. This generator then converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy, producing a DC output. The process allows for efficient conversion of AC to DC, leveraging the motor's mechanical properties and the generator's electrical characteristics.
