Permanent Magnet DC Motor
Construction Field -Permanent magnet -Continuous ring
Operation Supply 6V,12 V or 24 V Bt. or rectified ac T α ØI B-H curve - top left quadrant segment is referred to as the “demagnetizing curve”
Demagnetizing Curve
Permanent Magnetic Materials Alnico - good properties but too low a coercive force and too square a B-H loop => permanent demagnetization occurs easily Ferrites (Barium and Strontium) - low cost, moderately high service temperature (400° C), and straight line demagnetization curve. However, Br is low => machine volume and size needs to be large.
Permanent Magnet Materials… Samarium-Cobalt (Sm-Co) - very good properties but very expensive (because Samarium is rare) Neodymium-Iron-Boron (Nd-Fe-B) very good properties except the Curie temperature is only 150°C

Speed Control The speed-torque characteristic of a PM motor can be controlled by changing the supply voltage or the effective resistance of the armature circuit. The change in the supply voltage varies the no-load speed of the motor without affecting the slope of the characteristics.
Speed Control... with the change in the effective resistance of the armature circuit, the slope of the curve is controlled and the no-load speed of the motor remains the same
Advantages Lower manufacturing cost Smaller in size Higher efficiency (no field Cu loss) Less noise Little radio and TV interference
Disadvantages Heating effect (magnetic shielding) Can be demagnetized by armature reaction due to i . Improper design ii. Excessive Ia by fault or transient iii. Improper brush shift iv. Temperature effects Limited in size (large magnets are expensive)
