Lab 3 - DC Motor Speed Control (MANUAL)

This document contains instructions for three experiments on controlling the speed of a DC motor. The first experiment varies the duty cycle of a PWM controller to determine the relationship between motor speed and duty cycle. The second varies the excitation current to determine the relationship between speed and excitation. The third varies the triggering angle of a three-phase full-wave controlled rectifier to determine the relationship between speed and triggering angle. Procedures, analysis questions, and theory applications are provided for each experiment.

Instruction DC Motor Speed Control

Worksheet 1 of 6 PWM Controller


n = f(D) Experiment 3.1

Objective / Outcome:

• To determine the relationship between the speed and buck converter (IGBT switch)
duty ratio of a DC motor.

Procedure:

1. Establish the connections according to the diagram below.

n = f(D) Experiment 3.1

2. Set the adjustable DC power supply voltage to 220 V, torque/load to 0.3 N.m and duty
cycle to 0 (0 V at function generator).

3. Then, measure the speed, terminal voltage, armature current, and excitation current
from 0% until 100% duty cycle. Make sure to record the waveform of switch voltage vs.
switch current from 0% until 100% duty cycle.

4. Represent the speed as a function of duty cycle and terminal voltage graphically.

Analysis and Discussion

Provide analysis and discussions based on the waveforms and graph.

Theory Application:

The shunt-wound motor in this experiment is currently connected to a load of 0.3 N.m. If
the armature resistance is 12.7 Ω, calculate the speed of this motor at 50% duty cycle.
Compare the calculated value with the experimental value and describe the comparison.
(Hint: Use the armature current at 0.3 N.m for the KVL and magnetisation curve in
Experiment 1.1 for the EA = kΦω relationship)

2. Set the adjustable DC power supply voltage to 220 V, torque/load to 0.3 N.m and duty
cycle to 100% (10 V at function generator).

3. Then, measure the speed and armature current from 200 mA until 300 mA of excitation
current by changing the rheostat’s resistance.

4. Represent the speed as a function of excitation current graphically.

Analysis and Discussion

Provide analysis and discussions based on the graph.

Theory Application:

The shunt-wound motor in this experiment is currently connected to a load of 0.3 N.m. If
the armature resistance is 12.7 Ω, calculate the speed of this motor when the excitation
current is set to 250 mA. Compare the calculated value with the experimental value and
describe the comparison. (Hint: Use the armature current at 0.3 N.m for the KVL and
magnetisation curve in Experiment 1.1 for the EA = kΦω relationship)

2. Set the phase voltage to 90 V, torque/load to 0.3 N.m and triggering angle to 0° (10 V
at function generator).

3. Then, measure the speed, terminal voltage (average and rms) and armature current
(average and rms) at triggering angle of 0° (10.0 V), 30° (7.0 V), 45° (6.4 V), 60° (5.9
V), and 90° (5.6 V). Make sure to record the waveforms of terminal voltage (E) vs.
armature current (C) and input current (A) vs. switch current (B) for each triggering
angle.

4. Represent the speed as a function of triggering angle and terminal voltage (average)
graphically.
