Design of Small D-C Mackines witk a Digital Computer

This paper presents some of the methods and equations evolved by the computer section of the Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Company which were found to be useful in applying the digital computer to the design of small d-c machines. Machines using wire-wound coils and having a shunt field of sufficient strength to provide the majority of the excitation will be considered. As the techniques are presented, an attempt will be made to give some of the background and specifics of the method or the development of the equation involved. The results of a successfully written and debugged shunt motor design program, which uses the majority of these methods, are presented to validate the techniques.
