 Experiment # 3
Data from experiment :
N(no load) = 2000 rpm clockwise , Ra =8. 5ohm
Tables:

at rated armature voltage:

Steps 1 2 3 4 5 6

T(N.m) 0 0.3 0.6 0. 9 1.2 1.5

Ia (A) 0.26 0.6 0.95 1.27 1.83 2.07

n(rpm) 1990 1980 1960 1950 1920 1910

Questions:

1. calculate the output power at no load , at half load , at full

load ?
Pout =T * W

2 π∗1900
at full load : w = 60
=199 rad/sec , Tn =1.5 N.m

Pout=1.5 *199 =298.5 w

2 π∗1960
At half load : : w = 60
=205.25 rad/sec , T =0.6 N.m

Pout=0.6 *205.25 =123.15 w

 2 π∗2000
at no- load : Wnl = 60
=209.44 rad/sec , T =0 N.m

Pout=0 *209.44 =0 w

2. Compare voltage is decreased to its half rated the load

characteristic of separately DC motor at different
values of armature voltage?
The speeds will decrease by half of the rated armature voltage

3. calculate the efficiency at full load for the two cases of

voltage?
Pout
ᶯ= p¿
×100 %

Pout(at rated ) =W *T = 199 * 1.5 = 298.5 w

Pin =Va * Ia =205*1.8 = 369 w
298.5
ᶯ= 369
×100 %=80.9 %

conclusion:
1. know how the load affect the speed (decreasing the speed when the
load increase).
2. The relation between the torque and the armature current is
approximately linear.
3. The relation between the torque and the speed is inverse
relationship.
