This lecture covers the principles of DC motors, focusing on excitation types such as permanent magnets, separate excitation, shunt, series, and compound. It explains induced voltage equations, generalized induced voltage, and equivalent circuits. The lecture also discusses power balance, electromagnetic torque, and operating modes, including DC machines operating as generators and universal motors.
