Objective :-

To study the methods for controlling the speed of

D.C series motor.

Theory :-

The field current of d.c series motor is the same as

the load current it depends upon the mechanical
load on the motor shaft.The torque developed by
the motor is approximatly proportional to the field
flux and the armture current,

T α Ia ……..(1)

By neglecting the effect of magnatic saturation,we

can consider that the torque is proportional to the
square of the armature current,

T α Ia ….....(2)

E=V-IR

Where R is equal to the sam of armature and

external of resistance in the armature circuit.
E=KNΦ
N=(E/KΦ)=V-IR/VΦ
N α V/Ia……….(3)

At no load the current draldn by the motor from

the supply is only to over core the losses and it is
very smalls The speed at no load is inversely
proportional to the current and it is very high to
start the series motor it must be started on load .

Procedure:-

1-Connect the circuit with R3 only

2-Set the variable D.C supply on 15.66

3-Record the value of the speed and armature

current and voltage of the motor for different
value of R3

4-Disconnect the resistor R3 and connect R2

only

5-Set the variable supply on 16.34
