A DC motor can be operated from a single-phase AC supply. The direction of the torque produced by a DC machine is determined by the direction of current flow in the armature conductors and by the polarity of the field. Torque is developed in a DC machine because the commutator arrangement permits the field and armature currents to remain in phase, thus producing torque in a constant direction. A similar result can be obtained by using an AC supply, and by connecting the armature and field windings in series.
This type of motor is designed to operate with the start winding and it’s series capacitor permanently connected to the supply. lt has two capacitors connected in parallel in the start winding circuit for starting purposes. The running capacitor is employed to correct the power factor. As a result, this motor has a higher starting torque as well as a higher efficiency. These motors are employed in sizes ranging from 375 W to 7.5 kW. The power factor of these motor is upto 80% to 100%.
Ampere works law or Circuital Law This law relates to work done in a magnetic circuit i.e. closed magnetic flux path. The work done on or by a unit N-pole in moving once round any complete path is equal to the product of current and number of turns enclosed by that path
Phosphorus (P) has 15 electron i.e 2,8,5. Hence the number of electron in its outermost orbit is 5. Silicon (Si) has 14 electron i.e 2,8,4. Hence the number of electrons in its outermost orbit is 4.
The commutator is a feature of d.c.motors. But a.c. motors having wound rotor with brushes and commutator arrangements, are called commutator motors that work on single-phase a.c. supply. The commutator arrangement present in these motors is similar to the armature of a d.c. motor.E.g. of single-phase commutator type induction motor is Repulsion Motor Repulsion-Induction Motor AC Series Motor Universal Motor
