Procedure:
1. Make connections as per circuit diagram.
2. Start the DCmotor with the help of starter.
3. Record the voltage, current and speed of the motor at no load condition.
4. Load the machine by belt-pulley arrangement gradually and record the load current, speed,
applied voltage at different load conditions. Take at least 5 readings.
