EEEB283 Electrical Machines & Drives Speed Control of DC Motors By Dr. UngkuAnisaUngkuAmirulddin Department of Electrical Power Engineering College of Engineering EEEB283 – Electrical Machines & Drives
DC Drives Outline • Introduction to DC Drives • Separately Excited DC Motor • Speed Control Methods • Speed Control Strategy • Operating Modes • References EEEB283 – Electrical Machines & Drives
Introduction • DC Drives – Electric drives employing DC motors as prime movers • Dominated variable speed applications before introduction of Power Electronic converters • Still popular even after Power Electronics • Advantage: Precise torque and speed control without sophisticated electronics • Applications: Rolling mills, hoists, traction, cranes EEEB283 – Electrical Machines & Drives
Introduction • Some limitations: • High maintenance (commutators & brushes) • Expensive • Speed limitations • Sparking • Commonly used DC motors • Separately excited • Series (mostly for traction applications) EEEB283 – Electrical Machines & Drives

Separately Excited DC Motor • Motor is connected to a load. • Therefore, where TL= load torque J = load inertia (kg/m2) B = viscous friction coefficient (Nm/rad/s) EEEB283 – Electrical Machines & Drives
Separately Excited DC Motor – Steady State Condition • Time derivatives = 0. Therefore, • (1) • (2) • (3) • (4) • The developed power (5) EEEB283 – Electrical Machines & Drives
Speed Control Methods for Separately Excited DC Motor • From equation (3), • Three possible methods for speed control: • Armature voltage Va • Armature resistance Ra • Field current If (by changing field resistance Rf) flux Te EEEB283 – Electrical Machines & Drives
TL Va↓ Te Speed Control Methods – Va control Requires variable DC supply EEEB283 – Electrical Machines & Drives

Speed Control Strategy for Separately Excited DC Motor • Base speed base = Speed at rated Va, If and Ia • = 0 to base speed control by Va • > basespeed control by flux weakening (, i.e. If ↓) T base Vacontrol control EEEB283 – Electrical Machines & Drives

Operating Modes Motoring • Back EMF Ea < Va • Ia and If are positive • Motor develops torque to meet load demand (i.e. Te =TL) EEEB283 – Electrical Machines & Drives
Operating Modes Regenerative Breaking • Motor acts as generator • Develops Ea > Va • Ia negative (flows back to source) • If positive • Machine slows down until Ea = Va • Used only when there are enough loads to absorb regenerated power EEEB283 – Electrical Machines & Drives
Operating Modes Dynamic Breaking • Similar to regenerative breaking • But Va removed, replaced by Rb • Kinetic energy of motor is dissipated in Rb (i.e. machine works as generator) EEEB283 – Electrical Machines & Drives
Operating Modes Plugging • Supply voltage Va is reversed • Va assists Eain forcing Ia in reverse direction • Rb connected in series to limit current EEEB283 – Electrical Machines & Drives
Operating Modes - Four Quadrant Operation Q2 +Va , +Ea + -Ia -T Power = -ve Q1 +Va , +Ea + +Ia +T Power = +ve Q3 -Va , -Ea - -Ia -T Power = +ve Q4 -Va , -Ea - +Ia +T Power = -ve EEEB283 – Electrical Machines & Drives
