Abstract
As an introduction to the later chapters on the dynamics of induction and synchronous machines, in this chapter we study the modelling and dynamic behaviour of DC commutator machines. The traditional machine model, using a simplified modelling of the main field saturation, permits to derive the basic dynamic properties. A more accurate model for main field saturation is also presented. It is shown that the dynamic properties derived using this model are slightly different from those using the traditional model, but also somewhat more realistic.

The electromechanical time constant is proportional to the ratio of the inertia and the slope of the stationary torque-speed characteristic, as can be shown from a quasi-stationary model of the machine.
