Experiment 8

This document provides instructions for an experiment to control the speed of a DC shunt motor by varying either the armature voltage or field current. The aim is to obtain speed control by (a) varying the armature voltage with constant field current and (b) varying the field current with constant armature voltage. The procedure connects the motor and measuring instruments in a circuit, then collects speed measurements for different voltage and current values, recording the results in a table. Graphs are plotted from the data and results are analyzed.

8. SPEED CONTROL OF DC SHUNT MOTOR


AIM:
To obtain speed control of DC shunt motor by

a. Varying armature voltage with field current constant.


b. Varying field current with armature voltage constant

APPARATUS REQUIRED:
S.No. Apparatus Range Type Quantity
1 Ammeter (0-20) A MC 1
2 Voltmeter (0-300) V MC 1
1250, 0.8A Wire
3 Rheostats Each 1
50, 3.5A Wound
4 Tachometer (0-3000) rpm Digital 1
5 Connecting Wires 2.5sq.mm. Copper Few

PRECAUTIONS:

1. Field Rheostat should be kept in the minimum resistance position at the time of starting and
stopping the motor.
2. Armature Rheostat should be kept in the maximum resistance position at the time of starting
and stopping the motor.

PROCEDURE:

1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.


2. After checking the maximum position of armature rheostat and minimum position of field
rheostat, DPST switch is closed

(i) Armature Control: Field current is fixed to a constant value and, by varying the armature
rheostat, speed is noted for various voltages across the armature.
(ii) Field Control: Armature voltage is fixed to a constant value and, by adjusting
the field rheostat, speed is noted for various field currents.
3. Bringing field rheostat to minimum position and armature rheostat to maximum
position DPST switch is opened.
