General DC Machines

After you have selected DC Machine as your model type, enter the motor data to define the following:

• General data, such as the output power, rated voltage, speed, and machine type (motor or generator)
• Stator data, such as its associated pole dimensions, type of steel, and pole magnet specifications
• Stator field data, such as shoe and pole insulation, dimensions, and winding information
• Rotor data, such as the slot types and dimensions, rotor diameter, lamination, and wire specifications
• Commutator and brush data, such as the commutator type and dimensions and brush length
• Shaft data
• Solution data

By option you can insert or remove the following for a DC machine:

• Add a machine housing
• Compensating data, added under the stator
• Commutating data, added under the stator
• Vent data, added under the rotor
• Shunt data, added under the stator field
• Series data, added under the stator field
