Abstract

In general, the term ‘miniature d.c. motor’ refers to machines having an output in the order of 375 W (0.05 hp) and less, and in particular to those of 10–20 W. However, the scope of this chapter has been extended to embrace motors having outputs of up to 1.0 hp (745 W). Motors within the range 0–1.0 hp vary in construction and exhibit vastly differing characteristics depending upon the application. This chapter gives a brief insight into the characteristics and construction of most of the types in use.
