In dc motor torque and flux components are orthogonal to each other inherently. So by independently controlling these parameters speed can be controlled. Where as in AC motor like Induction motor the flux and torque components are not orthogonal inherently. In AC motor these components are made orthogonal...

DC drives are free from electromangnetic Induction and controlled electronically by the logic controllers which can be monitored remotely by software .DC drives are robust and less heat generators there by efficiency is more

in DC drives that to shunt machinesre having constant speed characteristics that means almost their speed is independent of load
