Equation involved Manipulated (explained in pg 446-447)
EA depends on 3 factors: • Flux in the machine, ϕ • Speed of the machine’s rotor, ωm • Constant depending on the construction of the machine
τind depends on 3 factors: • Flux in the machine, ϕ • The armature current, IA in the machine • Constant depending on the construction of the machine
DC Motor • Will be given in class
AND SHUNT MOTOR SEPARATELY EXCITED Note: When the V = constant, there is no practical difference in behavior between separately excited and shunt motor.
Speed control of Shunt Motor • Adjusting the field resistance ,Rf (to control ϕ) • Adjusting the terminal voltage, VT applied to the armature • Inserting a resistor in series with the armature circuit
Speed control of Series Motor • . • . • .
Speed control of compound motor • Change the field resistance, Rf • Change the armature resistance, Ra • Change the armature voltage, VA
DC MOTOR STARTER • When motor is at rest, there is not yet a back e.m.f. • When the full supply voltage is applied, then the starting current is very high because the armature resistance, RA is very small. • This excessive starting current will blow out fuses and may damage the brushes too. • To avoid this starting current, a resistance is inserted in series with the armature and is gradually cut out as the motor gains speed and develops the back e.m.f which then regulates in speed.
Speed Regulations • DC motors are often compared by their speed regulations. • Speed Regulations (SR) of the a motor is defined by or
Efficiency of motor To calculate the efficiency of a dc motor, the following losses must be determined: • Copper losses • Brush drop losses • Mechanical losses • Core losses • Stray losses
