# Separately excited DC motor Canonical URL: https://eloragrid.ai/symbols/separately-excited-dc-motor Publisher: Elora Grid Updated: 2026-10-13 Lookup label: M DC SEP Drawing use: SLD, Schematic Reference families: IEC, Manufacturer A separately excited DC motor has a documented field circuit supplied separately from the armature circuit. ## What it represents A separately excited DC motor has a documented field circuit supplied separately from the armature circuit. The schematic must show both supplies and their relevant controls. ## How to read it - Trace the field source independently from armature power. - The preview is an original explanation of this function. Match the actual drawing convention to its legend and the selected equipment documentation. ## Information to show or reference - Identify field supply - Identify armature supply - Reference coordinated control sequence ## Important distinction Separately excited and series-excited motors do not share the same field-current path. ## Facts - Drawing role: Rotating or linear load - Representation scope: Functional concept; not an official standard graphic or a product footprint - Public vendor block reference: HMO1M12, VMO1M12 (Autodesk identifiers; not IEC symbol numbers) - Identifier status: The short label is a functional lookup label, not an assigned IEC or IEEE symbol number. Any separately listed Autodesk code is a verified vendor block name. ## Public references - [AutoCAD Electrical: DC motors](https://help.autodesk.com/cloudhelp/2021/ENU/AutoCAD-Electrical/files/GUID-F5F3061F-E0DE-4A9A-BE88-C017545A9A36.htm) — Autodesk.
