SPEED CONTROL OF DC SHUNT MOTOR

OBJECTIVES
To perform the speed control of a d.c. shunt motor by
(i) Below the normal range by armature resistance control and to plot the Speed Vs
armature voltage (N / Va) characteristics.
(ii) Above the normal range by field control and to plot Speed Vs field current

THEORY
The speed of a dc motor is given by the relation, N = KEb /  Where, Eb = V-IaRa
Therefore N = K (V-Ia Ra) / 
Where Ra is the armature resistance
Ia is the armature current
 is the flux and
Eb is the back emf.
V is the supply voltag
From the above equations it is clear that the speed of dc motors can be controlled by
the following methods.
1. By varying the flux per pole (  ). This is known as flux or field control method.
2. By varying the armature drops i.e. by varying the resistance of the armature circuit.
This is known as armature control method.
3. By varying the applied voltage. This is known as voltage control method.

Field Control Method
The flux produced by the shunt winding depends on the current through it [i.e.   Ish
and Ish = V / Rsh]. When a variable resistance R is connected in series with the shunt field
winding as shown in the Fig - 2, the shunt field current [ Ish = V / ( Rsh + R ) ]is reduced and
hence the flux is also reduced. So the motor runs at a speed higher than normal speed (since
N  1 / ). The amount of increase in speed depends upon the value of the variable resistance
R. This is valid only in the linear portion of If Vs flux  curve and not in the saturation region.

This method is most commercial as very little power is wasted in the shunt field variable
resistance due to small field current. The main disadvantage is that only speeds above the
normal speed can be obtained.
Armature Control Method
In this method speed control is done for constant field currents. This method is used
when speed below the no load speed are required. As the supply voltage is normally constant,
the voltage across the armature is varied by inserting a variable rheostat or resistance in series
with the armature circuit. As the variable resistance is increased, potential drop across the
armature is decreased thereby decreasing the armature speed. The maximum speed that can
be obtained for a given field current occurs when there is no series resistance in the armature
circuit, thus giving the armature the maximum voltage without any series drop. Lower speeds
may be obtained by introducing armature resistance in series.

THEORY
Swinburne’s test is an indirect method (without loading) for finding out the efficiency of dc
machine. Various losses occurring in a dc machine can be classified as (i) constant losses and
(ii) variable losses. Variable losses are directly proportional to the square of armature current
or approximately the load current, whereas constant losses are independent of load conditions.
In this method, constant losses are determined experimentally by operating the dc machine as
motor running at no load. Variable losses occurring on load are calculated from the known
specifications of the machine.

FORMULA
Let the voltage applied to the shunt motor are V volts and the current flowing in the armature
and shunt field circuit under no load running be Ia0 and Ish respectively. Then,
Input power to the armature circuit = V * Ia0 Watts
Input power to the shunt field circuit = V * If Watt
Total input power to the motor at no load, W0 = V * (Ia0 + If)
Armature copper losses at no load = (Ia02 Ra)
Thus, the constant losses of the machine, Wc = W0 - Ia02 Ra Watts
Hence, the constant losses of dc machine can be determined experimentally by recording I a0,
If, V and measuring the armature resistance Ra.
The Swinburne’s test should be performed at rated voltage and at rated speed.
Total Losses = Constant Losses + Armature Cu loss
Constant Loss at no load: Iron losses in core; Friction losses; Windage loss
Wc = W0 - Ia02 Ra
Armature cu loss at no load = Ia02 Ra
Output = Input – Total Losses = VLIL – Ia02 Ra
PRECAUTIONS
Before starting and after completion of the experiment
1. The DC power supply, DC breaker and DC isolator should be in off position.

2. The motor field rheostat should be kept at minimum resistance position & motor armature
rheostat should be kept at maximum resistance position.
3. There should not be any load on the machines.( In motor or In generator )
PROCEDURE
1. Connections are made as shown in circuit diagram.
2. After observing the precautions switch on the DC power supply, DC breaker and DC
isolator switch.
3. Now the motor-generator set will start to rotate in minimum speed.
4. By adjust the speed of the motor to its rated value by varying the motor field rheostat and
motor armature rheostat.

THEORY:
A dc series motor has the field winding in series with the armature. Hence field current
is equal to the armature or load current. Speed is inversely proportional to flux and therefore to
field current. At no load the current is very low. This results in a weak field which leads to very
high speed, which may damage the motor. Hence the series motor is always started with load.
As load increases speed decreases and torque increases. The latter is due to the fact that the
torque is proportional to the product of flux and armature current which in this case is the
square of the load current. Thus series machines produce high starting torque.

Formula:
The characteristic equation of a d.c. motor is
V = E b + Ia Ra
Where,
Eb = Back e.m.f.
Ia = Current flowing in the armature circuit
Ra = Resistance of the armature circuit
Ia Ra represents the potential drop in the armature circuit.
I=IL = Ia = Ise
Ise = current through series winding
The back emf Eb is given by the equation
Eb = V- Ia (Ra + Rse)
Where,
Rse = the resistance of the series field
Ra = armature resistance
Also,
N  Eb / 
N  (V – Ia (Ra +Rse)) /  to V and hence the back emf
Eb can be assumed to the almost constant. Thus the speed
As Ra and Rse are normally small the drop Ia (Ra + Rse) is quite small compared
N  1 /   1/ Ia
At small loads armature current is small so the field is weak and results in higher speeds.
The drop in speed with increased load is much more prominent in series motor than in a shunt
motor. Hence, a series motor is not suitable for substantially constant speed.
For a given input, the starting torque developed by a series motor is greater than that developed
by a shunt motor. Hence series motors are used where huge starting torque are necessary i.e.
for street cars, cranes, hoists and for electric railway operation. In addition to the huge starting
torque, there is another unique characteristics of series motors which makes them especially
desirable for traction work i.e. when a load comes on a series motors it responds by decreasing
its speed ( and hence Eb) and supplies the increased torque with a small increase in current.

THEORY
There are some applications where constant terminal voltage is essential. At such
places, shunt generator is not suitable, because of its terminal voltage decreases with the
increase in load on it. However it can be made suitable for such applications by connecting a
few field turns in series with the armature as shown in figure.

The field produced by these series turns assists the field produced by the shunt field winding
if the generator is cumulatively compounded. Such generators are known as cumulative
compound generators. In such cases, when load current increases, the flux increases which


increase the induced emf. This extra induced emf compensates the voltage drop in the armature
resistance and the demagnetizing effect due to armature reaction. Hence the terminal voltage
V remains substantially constant. If the series winding flux opposes the shunt field winding
flux then it is called differential compound generator. Here the voltage decreases rapidly with
load.
Applications of compound generators
1. The compound generator is used for more than any other type.
It may be built and adjusted automatically to supply an approximately constant voltage at the
point of use, throughout the entire range of load. This is very great advantage. It is possible
to provide a constant supply voltage at the end of long feeder by the simple expedient of
over compounding the generator, because the resistance drop in the line is compensated for
by the rising characteristics of the generator.
2. Differentially compounded generator finds an useful application as an arc welding generator
where the generator is practically short circuited every time the electrode touches the metal
plates to welded.
3. Compound generators are used to supply power to
(i) Railway circuits
(ii) Motors of electrified steam rail-roads
(iii) Industrial motors in many fields of industry
(iv) Incandescent lamps and
(v) Elevator motor etc.

field current If at a specified speed. Open the field winding of the generator and connect it to a

Open circuit or magnetization characteristics of a dc machine is tested by driving the

machine at its normal speed and varying the excitation current in steps from zero to maximum
by adjusting field regulating resistance or potentiometer type regulator. The field is supplied

Since the machine is not carrying any armature current, the terminal voltage is the
induced emf in the armature of the machine. The curve of the induced emf against the
excitation current is the magnetization characteristics or open-circuit characteristics of the
machine. After taking the reading of the voltage induced Vs the excitation current by
increasing the current from zero to maximum, readings are taken by reducing the excitation
from maximum to zero. The curve plotted in Fig -4 shows that while reducing the excitation,
the emf does not follow the same curve and at zero value of excitation, does not return to zero
value but ratains some values of the emf. This emf is due to residual magnetism. This due to
magnetic hysteresis effect. Modern dc machines using steel frames and laminated pole
structure normally have residual magnetism of two to three percent.
Load test
The load test is performed on a d.c. generator to know how it’s terminal voltage changes
with the load (electrical). It is generally assumed that the speed of the generator is maintained
constant by prime mover, during this test. The other purpose of the test also could be to find its
regulation, efficiency and to measure its temperature rise at different loads

THEORY
A transformer is a static (stationary) piece of apparatus by means of which electric
power in one circuit is transformed into electric power of the same frequency in another circuit.
It can raise or lower the voltage in a circuit but with a corresponding decrease or increase in
current. The physical basis of a transformer is mutual induction between two circuits linked by
a common magnetic flux. Primary and secondary coils are wound upon the two cores of the
magnetic frame, linked by the common magnetic flux. When an alternating voltage is applied
across the primary coil, a current flows in it, producing the magnetic flux in the transformer
core. As per faraday’s laws of electro-magnetic induction, a statically self-induced emf is setup
in the primary coil.

Similarly, statically mutual induced emf setup in the secondary coil is given by,

Where Np and Ns are the number of turns in the primary and secondary coils respectively and

FORMULA: Open Circuit Test

In this test low voltage side (primary) is connected to a supply of normal voltage and
frequency (as per rating of transformer) and the high voltage winding (secondary) is left open
as shown in figure. The primary winding draws very low current hardly 3 to 5% of full load
current under this condition. Copper losses in the primary winding will be negligible. Thus
mainly iron losses occur in the transformer under no load on open circuit condition, which are
indicated by the wattmeter connected in the circuit.
Hence total iron losses =W0 (Reading of wattmeter)
From the observations of this test, the parameters R0 and X0 of the parallel branches of this
equivalent circuit can also be calculated from the steps given below.
Power drawn W0 =V0I0 Cos0
Thus no-load power factor Cos 0 = W0/V0I0
0 = Cos-1(W0/V0I0)

Short Circuit Test
In this test, low voltage winding is short circuited and a low voltage of 5 to10% of the
rated voltage of the high voltage winding is applied to this winding. This test is performed at
rated current flowing in both the windings. Iron losses occurring in the transformer under this
condition is negligible, because of very low applied voltage. Hence the total loss occurring
under short circuit is mainly the copper losses of both the winding, which are indicated by the
wattmeter connected in the circuit as shown in fig.
Thus full load copper loss = Wsc
The equivalent resistance Req and reactance Xeq referred to a particular winding can also
be calculated from the observations of this test, following the steps, given below.
Equivalent resistance referred to H.V. winding = Wsc/Isc2 = Req
Also, Equivalent impedance referred to H.V. winding = Vsc/Isc =Zeq
Thus equivalent reactance referred to H.V. winding = Xeq= sqrt (Zeq2 – Req2)
Performance Calculations
Complete performance of the transformer can be calculated based on the above
observations of open circuit and short circuit tests following the steps given below
1) Efficiency at different loads:
(a) Efficiency at full load
Total losses at full load = W0 +Wsc
Let the full load output capacity of the transformer in KVA be P0
Thus percentage efficiency at full load  = P0 x 1000 x Cos x 100
(P0 x 1000 x Cos) +W0 +Wsc
(b) Efficiency at half full load
Iron losses at half full load = W0 (constant)
Copper losses at half full load = (1/2)2 Wsc
Output power at half full load = (1/2) P0 x 1000 x Cos watts
% Efficiency at half full load
(1/2) P0 x 1000 x cos x 100
(1/2) fl = -----------------------------------------------------------
(1/2) P0 x 1000 x cos + W0 + (1/4) WSC
In a similar manner, efficiency at other loads can be found out and the efficiency Vs
load curve can be plotted.

Equivalent Circuit
All the parameters of the approximate equivalent circuit have been calculated above.
Thus an approximate equivalent circuit of the transformer can be drawn with these values of
parameters marked on it. The equivalent circuit can be solved easily for estimating the
performance like terminal voltage across the secondary etc.
Regulation
Regulation of the transformer can now be calculated based on the parameters of the
equivalent circuit, using the approximate formula given below.
%Regulation = I1 (R01cos ¢ ± X01sin¢)*100/V1 [+ for lagging p.f. & - For leading p.f]
OR
% Regulation = I2 (R02 Cos ¢ + X02 Sin ¢) *100 / V2
I1 and I2 = rated current on primary and secondary side
V1 and V2 = rated voltage on primary and secondary side.
cos ¢ - Power factor at which regulation is to be calculated
