Consider, then, the evolution of the following phenomenon (the conductor is free to move):<br />

• initial status: conductor is stopped and no current is flowing<br />

• a voltage V is applied, so an initial current begins to flow: I o<br />

= V / R<br />

• it generates an electromagnetic force on the conductor: Fe<br />

= B ⋅ l ⋅ I<br />

o<br />

• the conductor accelerates, and this generates an induced electromotive force: E = Blv<br />

V − E<br />

• in every instants you have, then, that the current becomes: I =<br />

R<br />

• equilibrium is reached when the current vanishes and therefore when V = E<br />

If braking forces go into action, then the balance is reached when F<br />

e<br />

= Fr<br />

and therefore the<br />

presence of a current is required. In particular:<br />

where "v" is always less than the no load speed v o .<br />

What was said for for the primitive linear machine remains valid for a rotating machine, making<br />

the appropriate substitutions:<br />

• instead of the Bl product, the flux Ψ has to be considered<br />

• the electromagnetic force F e becomes electromagnetic torque T e<br />

• the linear speed v becomes angular speed Ω<br />

• the inertia force becomes inertia torque<br />

• the braking force becomes braking torque.<br />

<strong>The</strong> fundamental relationships then become:<br />

E = ΩΨ Te<br />

= ΨI<br />

EI = TeΩ<br />

We can thus obtain, in a similar way, the values of the operating speed:<br />

• at no load (without braking torque)<br />

• at a load (with braking torque)<br />

<strong>The</strong> locus of the operation points (at steady state) of the electric machine is called torque/speed<br />

curve. <strong>The</strong> remarkable points are:<br />

• the intersection with the torque axis (zero speed = standstill), which represents the start<br />

torque.<br />

• the intersection with the speed axis (zero torque = no load), which provides no load speed.<br />

<strong>The</strong> intersection of this curve with the torque/speed curve of the mechanical load identifies the<br />

operating point.<br />

This operating point can be stable or unstable.<br />
