❒ Experiment 2: Speed behavior of the shunt-wound DC motor at flux shunting

Experimental purpose:
Examine the speed behaviour of the separately excited shunt-wound DC motor at flux shunting. To do this, determine the characteristic n = f (IE).
The flux shunting should not be more than 60 % because of the danger of ,,racing“.

Necessary equipment:
- Shunt-wound DC Machine (Type 2701) - Brake Unit (Type 2719)
- Control Unit (Type 2730) - Universal Power Supply (Type 2740) -3
- Universal Resistor (Type 2750) multimeters

Experimental procedure:

Observe the safety instructions in chapter !

Attention!
Set up the experiment as shown in Fig. 1.4.
Make sure that the exciting winding is connected
Connect the q-contact with the t-contact at the field with the correct polarity!
rheostat R3 (to avoid overloading)!
Make sure that the exciting voltage is never inter-
Set the armature voltage to the left stop (0 V). rupted during operation!
Set the field rheostat R3 to the right stop (0 ). The flux shunting may not exceed 60 %.
Start up the system as already described in experiment 1.
Observe the setting of the torque attenuator.

Set the field rheostat R3 so that a field voltage of UF =

205 V is applied at the exciting winding.

Set the armature voltage at UA = 205 V. To finish the experiment first switch off the Universal
Power Supply and then the Control Unit.
Measure the field current I F and the speed n (step 1).
Note the values in Table 1.2. Draw the characteristic in the prepared diagram Fig.
1.5. Determine the scale for IF and n yourself.
Determine additionally another six steps on the field
rheostat and measure the field current and the speed.
Directions for use:
- The steps should be distributed evenly over the range
of the field rheostat.
- First calculate the field current at 60 % flux shunting
and enter it in Table 1.2 at step 7.
