The very simplest DC electric motors work by placing an electromagnet in a magnetic field made by a permanent magnet. The electromagnet is a piece of iron or steel with wire wound around it in one direction, and it turns the drive shaft which can spin freely along one axis. To supply electricity to the wires from outside, where the outside wires do not spin with the electromagnet, moving contacts have to be made so the wires from outside the motor do not have to wind around the drive shaft. These moving contacts are called "brushes" because the stationary electrical contacts rub or brush against the moving ones. 

But why does this all work? The electromagnet feels the magnetic field of the permanent magnet around it and wants to line up with it, like a compass needle pointing north. The main gimmick is, at this point, to reverse the direction of electrical current in the electromagnet when this happens so that the electromagnet wants to turn around to line up the other way. This is done by aligning the brushes so that they rub on one contact when the electromagnet is pointed in one direction and rub on the opposite contact when the electromagnet is pointing the other way. It is arranged so that whenever the electromagnet is pointed towards one of the directions of the permanent magnet's field, that is just when it suddenly changes current direction to want to line up in the other direction, and thus always wants to spin around because it is never quite happy where it is. 

These simple motors can spin in either direction -- they sometimes need a little push to get them going (more complicated motors have a starting-up mechanism or multiple poles instead of two to get them going in only one direction - see the above website on that). 




Their speed is determined only by how fast the current can change direction in the electromagnet, how strongly the electromagnet is attracted to the opposite pole of the permanent magnet, and how much load there is on the driveshaft. The applied DC current does not have any time structure to it, and so does not set the turning rate of the motor. The rate at which the current can switch directions in the electromagnet and the force of attraction to the permanent poles are directly related to the applied DC voltage. The more volts you apply, the faster the motor will run. You can do an experiment with a motor -- what is the relationship between the speed of the motor and the applied voltage? 




To get more torque, it is good to make a bigger motor or apply more DC volts to it. A larger electromagnet can have more wires wrapped around it for a stronger field, and also can apply more torque to the driveshaft because longer levers have more mechanical advantage. It will take more electrical power, and some may be wasted. If your motor is bigger than needed for the job, not only will it cost more to buy or build, but it will take more electrical energy than is needed for the job. 




It is hard to control the speed of a very simple motor like the one above, another reason why they aren't very popular for applications. Many household appliance motors work on the AC power which comes from the power company. AC power is also easier to distribute and change the voltage with transformers. The frequency of the AC power is a natural timing base for these motors' turning speed.

the variable speed of amotor is that its speed varies with the change in load and change in excitation(flux) etc.we can varry the speed by change ecitation system ,armature resistance.

A powerplant has 8 gensets operating in grid parallel mode. In one genset sometimes there is pf variation and kvar variation. The plant operates in pf mode. When this variation is observed the load is stable, voltage is also stable, freq and genset speed is also stable. How will you check the functioning of pf card. What shall be the ideal output vdc of the pfc, from there it is input to AVR?
