DC Motor Torque: 95% Power to Stator, 5% to Motor?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

In a conventional DC motor, 95% of the power is supplied to the motor, while only 5% is allocated to the stator. This distribution is crucial for maintaining motor efficiency and performance. A hypothetical motor with 95% power to the stator and only 5% to the motor would operate but would be highly inefficient, resulting in minimal shaft output. Therefore, such a configuration is not economically viable for practical applications.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of DC motor operation and efficiency
  • Familiarity with torque equations in electrical engineering
  • Knowledge of power distribution in electrical machines

In a conventional DC motor 95 percent of the power is supplied to the motor while only 5 percent of the power is supplied to the stator. consider the torque equation. what if you have a motor that has 95percent power supplied to the stator and 5 percent to the motor. the motor will still run but why do we not use this motor?

It sounds like you're referring to the motor efficiency. If the shaft output is only 5% then the motor is not very efficient. So it would not be economical to use it.
