I. ABSTRACT

Washington, D.C. is used in the Ward-Leonard method, the ability to control speed. By
only changing the applied voltage to the armature, a motor is created. Washington, D.C. is M.
in this manner. A DC is G. that radiates autonomous excitement. The motor's speed must be
controlled. A three-phase induction motor is used as the source of electricity. In this
experimental setup, the MCB is connected to the DC field resistance, Auto Using the Ward-
Leonard Method of speed regulation, the transformer and other components are examined for
their effects on the output of the DC motor. A motor-generator set driving a generator and an
electric motor. The investigation's findings show that changing the field resistance values
affects the speed of the DC. A DC motor's speed is impacted by the current, which decreases as
resistance increases.

The field current drops as the speed of the DC motor increases. The study concludes that
using the Ward-Leonard technique has advantages and disadvantages. A very wide range of
speed fluctuations is possible with good speed regulation; however, the two additional
machines make it less efficient, take up more room, and need more regular maintenance. The
knowledge gained from this study is essential and helpful for the operation of DC motors in a
variety of application scenarios.

V. COMPUTATIONS AND RESULTS

The Virtual Labs have conducted experiments on this. The Open Web's cornerstone is
virtual laboratories platform is a complete development environment with access to devices for
cross-platform applications, capability; graphics; style, typography, and other digital tools;
video and animations publishing; broad. With this process, the motor speed is adjusted by
varying the field voltage while maintaining a constant armature voltage. The field flux which
means that the motor's speed can be changed by changing the field voltage.

VI. DISCUSSIONS AND CONCLUSIONS

To sum it up, when a DC motor needs to be controlled at a very broad and precise speed
in both directions of rotation, the Ward Leonard technique of speed control system is utilized.
In colliery winders, cranes, electric excavators, mine hoists, elevators, steel rolling mills, paper
machines, diesel locomotives, etc., this speed control system is primarily employed. The system
employs two motors: a main motor (M1) that needs speed control and a second motor (M2)
connected to a generator (G) that produces a constant speed. Direct control of M1's speed is
exercised using the output voltage from G. In changing the field current of the separately
excited variable voltage generator, the system can also be changed for forward and backward
function. The Ward Leonard process offers dependable and precise speed control for large
machines through the use of a constant speed 3-phase induction motor driving a variable
voltage generator.
