An overview of different types of dc motors, including brushed, brushless (bldc), series, shunt, and compound motors. It explains the characteristics and suitable applications for each motor type. The document also covers the operation of a single-phase fully controlled bridge rectifier, including the calculation of average and rms voltage, current, and power for different firing angles. Additionally, it explains the concepts of diacs and triacs, their working principles, and common applications. This comprehensive information on dc motor technologies and power electronics can be useful for students studying electrical engineering, power systems, or control systems.

a) Explain the term LTT. b) Explain the DC motor types by drawing the internal structures. c) Explain which type DC motor is suitable for heavy load lifting. d) Explain which type DC motor is suitable for low torque applications. e) Explain which type DC motor is suitable for good speed regulation applications. ANSWER: a) LTT: Depends on context; could mean Long-Term Training, Linear Tape Technology, or other acronyms based on the field of reference. b) DC Motor Types:
2. A single phase full wave fully controlled (means all switches are thyristors) bridge rectifier is connected to a resistive load of 140 ohm. Supply voltage is 400V and frequency is 50Hz. Determine the values of average and rms voltage, current and power transferred to the load for: a) α = 35 degrees b) Do you need a freewheeling diode for this case. No, a freewheeling diode is not needed for a fully controlled bridge rectifier connected to a purely resistive load. A freewheeling diode is typically used to provide a current path for inductive loads when the thyristors are off, but with a resistive load, there is no inductance to maintain current flow, so the diode is unnecessary. 3. a) Explain what a diac is. Give examples of its applications. b) Explain what a triac is. Give examples of its applications. ANSWER: a) Diac: A diac is a bidirectional semiconductor switch that conducts electricity only after its breakover voltage is reached. It's used in light dimmers, speed controllers for electric fans and motors, and heat control circuits.
