A permanent magnet dc motor differs from a separately excited one in that its flux

  • A.is supplied by a separate winding fed from its own converter
  • B.falls steadily as the machine warms up in service
  • C.cannot be varied
  • D.varies with the armature current drawn by the machine

Answer: C

Correct answer: cannot be varied

The flux of a permanent magnet machine is fixed by its magnets, so there is no field winding to adjust and no field weakening in the ordinary sense - speed above base can only be obtained by injecting a demagnetising armature current, which is inefficient. The compensations are real: no field copper loss, no excitation supply, higher efficiency and a smaller frame for the same output. The magnets do weaken somewhat with temperature, but reversibly, not steadily.
