Theory:
The transfer function is defined as the ratio of Laplace transform of the output
variable to the Laplace transform of input variable. The DC motor converts electrical
energy into mechanical energy. The electrical energy supplied at the armature
terminals converted into controlled mechanical energy.
(i)Armature controlled DC shunt motor
In armature control, the field current is kept constant and the armature voltage
is varied and hence the speed is varied. The field current If(t) is maintained constant
by keeping the Vf(t) to a constant value Vf and the armature current Ia(t) is varied to
change the torque Tm(t) of the load connected to the motor shaft. Thus the input
variable of the motor is the armature voltage Va(t) and the output variable is the
torque Tm(t). The speed of the DC motor is directly proportional to the armature
voltage and inversely proportional to the flux in the armature.
i.e. N Va /
In the armature controlled DC motor, the desired speed is obtained by varying
the armature voltage.
By Kirchoff s law,

For finding the transfer function of the armature control DC motor, we have to find
the values of J, f, Kt, Kb, Ra & La.
PROCEDURE:
(i).Load test to determine Kt & Kf
Conduct the load test with two constants normal (rated value) & sub normal
(say 80% of rated field current) values of field currents.
Keep the field rheostat in minimum position & switch on 230 V supply.
Adjust the field rheostat to rated speed & consider the corresponding field
current as rated field current.
Plot a graph between T(Y-axis) and Ia (X-axis) for both the cases.
[Note: The reason why we conduct the experiment for two field currents is to derive
Kf from armature control graph. ]
From the graph deduce two points (T1,If1) and (T2,If2) for the same armature
current.
N2 = N * e t2/m
Using stop watch, note down the time taken for the speed of the motor to fall
down from 1600 RPM to 1400 RPM. (1 =1600 RPM,2 =1400RPM)
The moment of inertia , J is obtained from the relation between loss ,time and
.
Calculate no load input power using the values read by ammeter & voltmeter
connected to armature circuitry.
To find J
To find f : J / m ;
Measure Ra & Rf. [As the field winding resistance is of the order of 250300ohms and it can withstand a current of 1A,the circuit shown can be used
for measurement of Rf Similarly , as the armature resistance is of order of 0.21 ohms and it can be measured using the circuit shown]
Apply an ac voltage & measure the field reactance Zf & armature reactance

(ii).Field Controlled DC Shunt Motor
In field control method, the armature current I a(t) is maintained to a constant
value Ia while the field voltage Vf(t) is varied to control the speed or torque of the
motor. Thus the input of the motor is field voltage V f(t) and the output is the motor
speed and the load displacement (t) or (t).

For finding the transfer function of field control method, we have to find the
values of J, f, Kf, Rf & Lf.
Kt & Kf can be found out using load test, V-A method cab be used to find Ra,
Rf, La & Lf and retardation & Swinburnes test can be used to find J & f.
Procedure:
(i). Load test to determine Kt & Kf
Conduct the load test with two constants normal (rated value) & sub normal
(say 80% of rated field current) values of field currents.
Give the connections as per circuit diagram.
Keep the field rheostat in minimum position & switch on 230 V supply.
Adjust the field rheostat to rated speed & consider the corresponding field
current as rated field current.
For different loads note down Ia,Va & speed
Calculate the torque developed.
Repeat the same for 80% of excitation current.
Plot a graph between T(Y-axis) and Ia (X-axis) for both the cases.
From this graph, obtain Kt for any one field current.
[Note: The reason why we conduct the experiment for two field currents is to derive
Kf from armature control graph. ]
From the graph deduce two points (T1,If1) and (T2,If2) for the same armature
current.
Plot the graph between T Vs If
From this graph, obtain Kf.
