    This document provides instructions for conducting a load test on a DC series motor to determine its efficiency. The test involves connecting the motor in a circuit and gradually increasing the mechanical or brake load while measuring voltage, current, speed, and force. Observations are recorded in a table and used to calculate input power, output power, torque, and efficiency. Graphs of torque-current, speed-current, and speed-torque characteristics will be drawn to analyze the motor's performance under different load conditions. The test aims to experimentally determine the motor's efficiency and validate the theoretical relationships between its torque, current, speed and flux.

    LOAD TEST OF D.C. SERIES MOTOR 0/6


    LOAD TEST ON
    D.C. SERIES MOTOR

    AIM:

     To conduct load test on DC series Motor and to find efficiency.


    APPRATUS:-

    Sl No Apparatus Name Apparatus Type Specification/ Makers Serial No


    Range Name
    1. Series Motor
    2. Ammeter Digital (0-20)A
    3. Voltmeter Digital (0-300)V

    PRECAUTIONS:

     The motor should be started and stopped with load


     Brake drum should be cooled with water when it is under load.

    PROCEDURE:

     Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.


     After checking the load condition, DPST switch is closed and starter resistance is gradually
    removed.
     For various loads, Voltmeter, Ammeter readings, speed and spring balance readings are noted.
     After bringing the load to initial position, DPST switch is opened.

    THEORY:
    1. TORQUE – CURRENT CHARACTERISTICS:

    We know that for DC motor


    T I a . In series motor, before saturation  I a and hence at rated load.
    T I a2
    The above equation shown that the torque-current characteristics of a series motor will be
    parabolic. When the iron core becomes magnetically saturated,  become almost constant, so that at heavy
    loads.
    T  I a
    The above equation is a straight line. Thus torque-current characteristic of a DC series motor is initially
    parabolic and finally becomes linear when load become large as shown in fig.

    2. SPEED - CURRENT CHARACTERISTICS

    The motor speed N for a series motor is given by

    V  I a ( Ra  Rse )  Eb 
    N  K  
      
    I  I ( R  Rse ) is negligibly small in comparison with V.
    At the low value of a the voltage drop a a
    V
     N

    N
    Since V is constant 
    In series motor the fields flux  is produced by the armature current flowing in the field winding
    so that
     I a . Hence the series motor is variable flux machine. So

    N
    Ia
    Thus, for series motor, the speed is inversely proportional to the armature (load) current. The
    speed – torque characteristic is a rectangular hyperbola as shown in fig.

    3. SPEED- TORQUE CHARACTERISTICS


    The motor speed N for a series motor is given by
    V   I a ( Ra  Rse ) 
    N

    V
    N
    And the torque equation is T  I and field flux  I a . So

    a T . Thus speed-torque
    characteristic of DC motor is a rectangular hyperbola as shown in fig.
