What are the advantages and disadvantages of the dc motors?..

Answer / Nirankar Awasthi

Advantages of DC motors include: 1) Easy control of speed by varying the field current or armature voltage. 2) High torque at low speeds, making them suitable for applications requiring high starting torque. Disadvantages include: 1) Complex construction due to the presence of a commutator and brushes. 2) Inefficiency at light loads due to high copper loss.

For polarity test on a 11/3.3kV 2.5MVA delta-star Unit Auxiliary transformer,415V 3-phase supply was applied at the HV. Connection between Aa was made with a 2.5mm cable. As soon as power was switched on the cable caught fire and burnt. This test was then abandoned. It is noteworthy to say that a similar cable was also used in a similar transformer for the same. The cable did not burn and test was successfully completed with good result. What is wrong? Please, help me out.
