    This experiment aims to control the speed of a DC motor through two methods: (1) varying the armature voltage and (2) varying the field flux. The required equipment is listed. Theory explains that speed varies directly with armature voltage and inversely with field flux below saturation. The procedure details running the motor at rated speed and constant field current, then decreasing voltage and noting speed. It also details increasing field resistance while holding voltage constant and recording speeds. Observations and graphs will be made comparing speed and armature voltage and speed and field current.

    AIM OF THE EXPERIMENT:

    To observe Speed control of DC Motor using


    (A) Variation of armature voltage.
    (B) Variation of field flux.
    Apparatus required:
    Sl.No. Name Of Apparatus Specification Quantity
    1 Ammeter 0-5A , PMMC 1
    2 Ammeter 0-500mA , PMMC 1
    2 Voltmeter 0-300V , PMMC 1
    3 Rheostat 0-290ohms, 2.8Amp 1
    4 Rheostat 38 Ohms,8.5Amp 1
    5 Tachometer 0-10000RPM ,Digital 1
    6 DC shunt Motor 1.1KW,3000RPM,220V,6.3Amp 1

    Theory:
    If V is the applied voltage across the motor terminals, Eb is the back emf developed, then
    V = Eb+ IaRa. Where Ia and Ra the current and resistance in the armature circuit respectively.
    ϕZNP (V −IaRa)
    But, Eb = = KϕN .Hence V =KϕN + IaRa .i.e. N = K
    60 A ϕ
    It shows that:-
    i. An increase in the IaRa drop will decrease the value of speed if V remains constant.
    ii. Speed varies inversely as the field flux i.e. the exciting current below saturation. Thus, by
    increasing the resistance in the armature circuit, a motor can be operated at speed below normal.
    By increasing the resistance in the field circuit, a motor can be operated at speed above normal.

    Circuit diagram:

    Precautions:-
    1. Don’t switch ON power supply without concerning teacher.
    2. Keep safe distance from the rotating part.
    Procedure:-
    CASE A:-
    Speed control by variation of armature voltage.
    1. Connect the circuit as shown in the diagram. Make R at maximum and Rf zero at the
    time of starting the motor (which is running on no load).
    2. Adjust Rf and bring the motor to the rated speed. Note the terminal voltage V and
    field current If which correspond to the rated speed of the motor. Keep If constant
    throughout.
    3. With the exciting current kept constant, decrease R in steps; at each step note the
    value of V and the speed N in r.p.m.
    CASE B: -
    Speed control by variation of field flux.
    1. Run the motor as before and bring it to the rated speed at no
    load.
    2. Change the field resistance Rf in steps and note the speed N and the field current If in
    each case . Keep the voltage across the armature constant. Take reading for decreasing
    and increasing value of field currents.
    Observations:
    Case A:- If =
    Ra=
    SL.NO. Speed in R.P.M Voltage across Arm.

    Case B: - Voltage across armature =


    SL.NO. If Speed in R.P.M with decreasing If Speed in R.P.M with increasing If

    Graphs:
    Case A: - Plot a graph between speed along y-axis and voltage across armature along x-axis.
    Case B: - Plot a graph between speed along y –axis and field current If along x-axis.
    Conclusion:
    To be written by the student.
    Discussion questions:
    1. Compare the two methods and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each method.
    2. What is back e.m.f.?
    3. What will happen if field circuit will be open circuited?
    4. What is a Shunt Motor & why it is called so?
