A Study on the Minimum Volume Design of a Large DC Motor |
| Abstract |
As the capacity of DC motor is increased, we should recheck several encountered problems like volume increase. Particularly, when a large DC motor should be installed within the limited space, it is necessary to minimize the volume of motor for the effective utilization of the limited space. This paper describes the procedure and the method of finding optimum design of a large DC motor. The result of the optimization will decide the basic dimensions of a large DC motor. The flexible tolerance method and polyhedron searching method are used in this optimization. This result of simulation of the existing large DC motors is compared with the data of the existing large DC motors to confirm the validity of this optimum design. |
