The influence of temperature on the parameters of PMDC and SMDC electric motors

Abstract The article analyzes the influence of temperature on the efficiency and mechanical characteristics of selected DC electric motors. The computer simulation method was used in the research. Simulation models of PMDC and SWDC motors were developed in Simcenter Amesim software. Comparative analysis of the obtained results allowed to identify the effects of temperature on the operation of both types of DC motors. Conclusions drawn from the analysis indicate a significant effect of temperature on the efficiency and mechanical characteristics of PMDC motors and the SWDC micromotor. No significant effect of temperature on the operation of the 3 kW SWDC motor was observed. Keywords: PMDC motor, SWDC motor, Simcenter Amesim
