Working Principle
The 380 DC motor converts electrical energy into mechanical rotational motion. When DC voltage is applied to the motor terminals, current flows through the internal armature winding, generating a magnetic field that interacts with permanent magnets inside the motor.
This interaction creates rotational force (torque), causing the shaft to spin at high speed. Reversing the supply polarity changes the direction of rotation.
