Magnetization Curve

Ea  K a m

•Flux is a non-linear
function of field current and
hence Ea is a non-linear
function of field current

•For a given value of flux Ea

is directly proportional to
m

•If the shunt and series field aid each other it is called a cumulatively
excited machine
•If the shunt and series field oppose each other it is called a differentially
excited machine
