Lab 3 - DC Separately-Excited Motor

The document provides instructions for two experiments on a DC separately excited motor: 1) To determine the relationship between motor speed and applied armature voltage at a constant load, by measuring speed from 0-220V armature voltage. 2) To determine the speed-torque characteristic at different armature voltages (80V, 100V, 150V, 200V), by measuring speed at each voltage from 0-2.3N.m load. Graphs of the results should be drawn and analyzed to understand the motor's performance at varying voltages and loads. The motor speed is then calculated for a reduced armature voltage and compared to experimental data.

Objective / Outcome:
To determine the characteristic of speed and torque of a DC separately-excited motor at
different armature voltages.
Procedure:
1. Establish the connections according to the previous diagram.
2. To start the motor, adjust the excitation current to its rated value and the armature
voltage to 80 V.
3. At a constant armature voltage of 80 V, measure the speed from 0 N.m until 2.3 N.m.
Repeat the same measurements at different armature voltages of 100 V, 150 V and
200 V.
4. Represent the speed as a function of torque/load for different armature voltages in a
single graph.
Analysis and Discussion
Provide analysis and discussions based on the graph.
Conclusion
Provide comprehensive conclusion for these experiments.
Calculation:
The separately excited motor in this experiment was running with an armature voltage of
220 V, at its rated current, torque/load and speed. If the armature resistance is 12.7 ,
calculate the speed of this motor if the armature voltage is reduced to 150 V. Compare the
calculated value with the experimental value and describe the comparison.
