This document is a laboratory experiment sheet for a course on Energy Conversion II. It describes an experiment to control the speed of a DC shunt motor and observe the existence of back EMF. The objectives are to learn about DC shunt motors and how speed can be varied by changing field current, armature current, and voltage. The experiment will use armature current control to change speed and a test to demonstrate back EMF. Data on speed, field current, voltage, and armature current will be collected from the motor in different conditions and plotted on graphs.

NAME OF THE EXPERIMENT: SPEED CONTROL OF A DC SHUNT MOTOR
AND OBSERVATION OF THE EXISTENCE OF BACK EMF.

OBJECTIVES:
1) To learn about the DC Shunt Motor
2) To observe the change of speed by varying field current, armature
current and voltage.
3) To know about the existence of back emf.
THEORY:

Speed of a DC motor may be given by the following equation


N= K ( V-IaRa)/φ r.p.m ………………………(1)
Where
V= applied terminal voltage
Ia= armature current
Ra= armature resistance
Φ = field flux
K= a constant which depends on the winding and construction of the
Motor
Therefore speed of a DC shunt motor can be varied by the following methods:

1) Flux Control Method:


Equation 01 describes an inverse relationship between speed and flux. So by decreasing
the field flux of a DC shunt motor, by inserting resistance in the field circuit, speed can
be increased above the base speed.

2) Terminal Voltage Control Method:


By applying a variable DC voltage across the motor terminals, speed can be varied below
or above the base speed.

3) Armature Current Control Method:


In this method armature current Ia is varied by applying variable DC voltage across the
armature. The relationship of armature current and speed would be proportional.

In this experiment armature current control method will be accomplished. In excess, the
existence of back EMF will also be observed through a simple test.

2) Keep the field Rheostat control knob at it minimum position for minimum
resistance.
3) Turn on the power supply.
4) Gradually increase the voltage up to motor rated voltage.
5) Measure and record the motor speed and field current by varying field rheostat.
6) Take 5 sets of data (speed vs field current) by varying the field rheostat.
7) Return the field Rheostat control knob at it previous position gradually.
8) Return the voltage to zero and turn off the power supply.

 Voltage Control Method:

1) Gradually increase DC voltage up to motor rated voltage. Measure and record


5 sets of data (speed vs voltage)

2) Return the voltage to zero and turn on the power supply.

 Armature Current Control Method:


1) Connect the Ckt. Shown in Figure - 2.
2) Turn on the power supply; gradually increase armature voltage up to
motor rated voltage.
3) Measure and record 5 sets of data (Armature current Ia vs motor speed).
4) Open the switch and observe what happened.
5) Return the voltage to zero and turn off the power supply.
