DC Shunt Motor: Speed Control, Characteristics & Theory

I. OBJECTIVES :
1. To monitor and record the characteristic of DC Shunt Motor under varying load.
2. Learn how to calculate the efficiency of a DC shunt motor.
3. To be familiarize with the different parts of a DC motor.

II. TOOLS AND APPARATUS :

Multisim Simulation Software
Scientific Calculator
Digital Multitester

III. LABORATORY PROCEDURE :

A DC shunt motor is a type of self-excited DC motor, and it is also known as a shunt wound DC motor.
The field windings in this motor can be connected in parallel to the armature winding.

P = ωT

Therefore, P= xT

Where ω is the angular speed, T = Torque
