Aim: Plot the speed versus torque characteristic of a DC Shunt motor.

Apparatus: DC Ammeter(0-20A)—1no, Techometer—1 no.

Circuit diagram:

Procedure:
Switches S1 and S2 are open and T1 and T2 are set to zero. Keep Rfmin cut out least resistance
position and Rs in cut in position that means maximum resistance.
Close the supply switch S, close the starting lamp switches(Rs) one by one after the motor
picks up speed and the lamps are fully dark, close the switch S2.
Vary Rfmfrom cut out to cut in to run the DC motor at the rated speed indicated on the name
plate.
Record the no load readings.
Apply the load in steps, each time record I, T1, T2 and N and tabulate the readings.
Plot Speed( N) v/s Torque(T) characteristic.
