DC Motor/Generator

OBJECTIVES:
1. Determine the different Voltage, Current, and Power using different loads.
2. To understand and analyze the concept of DC Motor/Generator.

PROCEDURES:

1. Using your EMS Power Supply, DC Motor/Generator. DC Metering and Electrodynamometer Modules,
connect the circuit shown in Figure 1.

2. Terminals 1,2 and 3 on the


power supply provide fixed three-phase power for the three stator windings. Terminals 8 and N on the
power supply provide fixed DC power for the rotor winding. Set the rheostat control known to its proper
position for normal excitation.

3. Using your EMS DC Motor/Generator, DC Metering and Resistance Modules, connect3 the circuit shown
in Figure 2.

4. Couple the synchronous motor and the dc generator with the timing belt.
5. Turn the DC generator field rheostat control knob full clockwise for minimum resistance
6. Make Sure the brushes are in their neutral position.
7. Place the resistance switches for no-load (all switches open).
8. Turn on the power supply. The synchronous motor should start running.
9. If the synchronous motor has switch S, close it at this time.
10. Note if voltage EA build up. No Voltage Build Up.
11. If not, turn off the power supply and interchange any two of the stator connection leads on the
synchronous motor.

12. Measure the open circuit armature voltage.

13. Vary the field rheostat and notice if the armature voltage EA changes,
EA is decreasing the we turn control knob to counter clock-wise.
Explain. The rheostat is a variable resistance, when you turn the knob counter clock-wise, you
increase the value of resistance. The higher the resistance the lower the voltage and current because
the voltage is now being shared with the rheostat.

14. Adjust the field rheostat for a no-load current (IA = 0A) output voltage EA of 120 Vdc.
15. Adjust the load resistance to obtain each of values listed in Table 1.
16. Measure and record EA and IA for each of the resistance values listen in the table 1.
17. Turn of the power supply.
18. Calculate and record the power for each of the resistance in Table 1.

19. . Reverse the rotation of the driving motor by interchanging any two of the stator lead
connection (terminals 1, 2, or 3) to the synchronous motor.- Interchanging stator (1&2)

20. Remove the generator load by opening all resistance switches.


21. Turn on the power supply.
22. Does the Voltage build-up? No
Explain.
- The rotational direction and the field have a direct relationship.
attachments to the armature Previously, it accumulated in a counterclockwise direction. By switching
two of the stator lead connections, the rotation is reversed and no voltage buildup occurs.

23. Turn off the power supply.

QUESTIONS

1. If a self-excited generator has all of its residual magnetism, can it build up an output voltage? - Yes,
because there will be another supply that will cause a field flux.

2. How would you get a generator to work after it had lost all of its residual magnetism?
- Remaining magnetism can be rebuilt by connecting field coils separately to another DC supply for a

period of time, a process known as exiter flushing.

3. Does the generator slowly lose its residual magnetism with time?
- Yes, residual magnetism decreases over time if the generator is not used for an extended period of time,
as well as due to improper connections.

CONCLUSION

I also understand that the machines are either generator or a motor. A generator is a type of machine that
uses mechanical energy and transform it into electrical energy. An example of generator is the Alternator, an
alternator uses Chemical Energy and Mechanical Energy then transform It into Electrical Energy.

We observed that there is a direct correlation between the armature's field connections and rotational direction,
such that there is no voltage buildup in the opposite way while voltage increases in the counterclockwise
direction. A complete illustration of what actually occurs in the armature current and terminal voltage in the
generator's generated voltage formula is provided by my observation that switching two of the stator lead
connections will cause the armature to rotate in the opposite direction. Under full load, I also noticed that the
voltage drop on the armature increases as the armature current increases.
