SPEED CONTROL OF DC SHUNT MOTOR

AIM
To obtain the no load speed characteristics of DC shunt motor by means of field and
Armature control methods.

APPARATUS REQUIRED

Sl. No. Name of the apparatus Range Quantity

1. Voltmeter

2. Ammeter

3. Wire wound rheostat

4. Connecting Wires

PRECAUTIONS

1. Appropriate fuse wires should be fixed.

2. The DPST switch should be in open position.
3. The motor field rheostat should be kept at minimum position and armature
rheostat should be kept at maximum position.
DESIGN OF APPARATUS REQUIRED
PROCEDURE
FIELD CONTROL METHOD

1. Make the connections as per the circuit diagram 2.1.

2. Close the DPST switch.
3. Set the armature voltage of the motor at a certain value by adjusting the armature
rheostat of the motor.
4. Vary the field rheostat of the motor and note down the field current and the
corresponding motor speed.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for two more different values of the armature voltage.
6. Bring the field and armature rheostats of the motor to their initial position.

ARMATURE CONTROL METHOD

1. Set the field current at a certain value by adjusting the field rheostat of the motor.
2. Vary the armature rheostat of the motor and note down the armature voltage and
the corresponding motor speed.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for two more different values of the field current.
4. Bring the field and armature rheostats of the motor to their initial position.
5. Open the DPST switch and disconnect the circuit.
