How do you change an ac motor to a DC motor?

Ac motor have slip ring, to remove the slip ring,connected to the commutator its a dc motor.


How does a DC brushless motor work?

To state it simply, a DC brushless motor is not a DC motor. It is an AC motor with an inverter (or electronic commutator) on the front end to make the AC, so you can use a DC input.


What is commutation in DC machines?

It is the process of conversion of generated ac voltage into the armature of a dc generator to dc voltage at the terminal of the dc generator by use of pair of brushes and commutator. OR It is the process of conversion of given dc voltage at the terminal of the dc motor to ac voltage in the armature windings in a dc motor by use of pair of brushes and commutator.


What are the disadvantages of DC motor?

It depends entirely on the motor design. The only universal disadvantage of a DC motor (vs. an AC motor) is the need for a DC power supply (DC power is more difficult to transmit efficiently over long distances, hence the use of AC for typical power grids). Typical brushed DC motors (the cheapest and hence one of the most common type of DC motor) tend to wear out eventually due to friction and draw MUCH higher current when stalled than when turning, which can cause overheating. They are also typically heavier than AC motors with similar specs. Of course all of these problems can be eliminated by using a (slightly more complex) brush-less motor design.


What are the Difference between dc motor and dc generator?

a motor Will do work by consuming power a generator is just the opposite

DC motor has sparking what to do?

Found one DC motor having small sparking,but the commutator is light and dark bar pattern.commutator is round. We 500kw dC motor operted at 500rpm with 480Amp's .The DC motor full load current is 1050Amp's. Why the commutator had small spaerking.

What is Commutatorless DC Motor?

A commutator less DC motor is nothing but a self controlled synchronous motor is being widely used in industries for high speed and large capacity.


Does the alternating current supplied to the armature winding of a DC motor gets converted to dc by a commutator before it flows through the armature coil of the DC motor?

The commutator is a rotating switch, which reverse the polarity of the generated voltage every half-cycle. So it acts to rectify the output voltage.
