Dc servomotors are normally used as prime movers in computers, numerically controlled machinery, or other applications where starts and stops are made quickly and accurately.
Industrial applications use direct current motors because the speed-torque relationship can be varied to almost any useful form -- for both motor and regeneration applications in either direction of rotation.
Power-circuit modules containing several power semiconductor switching devices can reshape ac power into other required forms and often have current ratings from 30 to 50 A.
Incandescent miniature and subminiature lamps are used in applications requiring high brightness, a wide viewing angle, and a variety of display colors.
