AME 3L EXPERIMENT 3

Speed Control of DC motor by field resistance control

AIM

To study the speed control of DC Motor by field resistance Control. Draw


the graph between the armature current and motor speed by varring the
field resistace.

THEORY

We know that the speed of shunt motor is given by:

N = (V-IaRa)/kФ
Where, Va is the voltage applied across the armature and φ is the flux
per pole and is proportional to the field current If.. As explained earlier,
armature current Ia is decided by the mechanical load present on the
shaft. Therefore, by varying Va and If we can vary n. For fixed supply
voltage and the motor connected as shunt we can vary Va by controlling
an external resistance connected in series with the armature. If of course
can be varied by controlling external field resistance Rf connected with
the field circuit.

Thus, for shunt motor we have essentially two methods for controlling
speed, namely by:

1. Varying armature resistance.


2. Varying field resistance.

Speed control by varying field current:
In this method field circuit resistance is varied to control the speed of
a d.c shunt motor. Let us rewrite the basic equation to understand
the method.

N = (V-IaRa)/kФ
If we vary I f, flux φ will change, hence speed will vary. To change If an
external resistance is connected in series with the field windings. The
resistance is called the shunt field regulator the field coil produces
rated flux when no external resistance is connected and rated voltage
is applied across field coil. It should be understood that we can only
decrease flux from its rated value by adding external resistance. Thus,
the speed of the motor will rise as we decrease the field current and
speed control above the base speed will be achieved. Speed versus
armature current characteristic is shown.

(a)A to K
(b) A to Y
(c) A to J
(d) B to P
(e) E to M
(f) F to D
(g) G to R
(h) H to I
(i) I to C
(j) C to H
(k) Q to L
Then Check the connections by clicking on Check Button.

3. If it shows alert "Incorrect Corrections" then press reset button and


make connection again.
4. If it shows alert “Correct Connections" then Turn On the MCB.
5. Then set the Voltmeter first with the help of the second slider.
6. Now, move the first slider to get corresponding values of Ammeter
and Speedometer.
