05. SPEED CONTROL OF DC SHUNT MOTOR
 ELECTRICAL MACHINES LAB - I

Procedure :
1 : Armature Control ( Field Constant )
1. Make the connections as per circuit diagram.
2. Set the motor rotor rheostat maximum position, field rheostat kept minimum Position.
3. Switch on DC power supply.
4. Run the DC Shunt Motor of 3 point starter.
5. Adjusting field rheostat bring the motor to rated speed.
6. By increasing armature circuit rheostat in steps note down voltage, and speed at every step.
7. The corresponding graph is draw between armature Voltage Vs speed

2. Flux Control method ( Armature Constant )

1. Make the connections as per circuit diagram.
2. Set the motor rotor rheostat maximum position, field rheostat kept minimum Position.
3. Switch on DC power supply.
4. Run the DC Shunt Motor of 3 point starter.
5. Adjusting field rheostat bring the motor to rated speed.
6. By increasing armature circuit rheostat in steps note down voltage, and speed at every step.
7. The corresponding graph is draw between armature Voltage Vs speed

b. Keeping both rheostats at minimum, Start the motor with the help of starter and by adjusting field
rheostat bring the motor to rated speed.
c. By increasing field circuit rheostat in steps note down current,If and speed at every step.
d. The corresponding graph is draw between field current Vs speed.

PRECAUTIONS:-

1. Initially keep the armature rheostat

and field rheostat in minimum position.

2. Take care that armature current does not exceed the rated current of the rheostat R a.

3. Keep the field current constant in armature voltage control method and armature voltage constant in field
control method
