Eee206 DC Motor p1b
INTRODUCTION:
Speed of a dc motor may be given by the following equation
Where
V= applied terminal voltage
Ia=armature current
Ra=armature resistance
= field flux
K= a constant which depends on the winding and construction
of the motor
APPARATUS:
1. Two DC ammeters
2. Two rheostats
3. One DC voltmeter
4. DC motor
EXPERIMENTAL SET-UP:
S Field
rheostat
Armature
DC Volt rheostat
V
0 - 240 V A
lamp Field
Armature
PROCEDURE:
1. Complete the connections as shown in the figure. Apply 240V dc across the
terminals. Keep the field rheostat at minimum resistance position. Start the motor.
Observe the high deflection of the armature circuit ammeter.
When the motor is running, the lamp will glow steadily. Now, open the switch S.
Had there be no back emf, the light would instantaneously turn off. However, due
to the presence of back emf the light will gradually fade out as the motor coasts
down
(Why does the motor stop running when the switch is open?)
Apply 240V dc across the motor terminals. Keep the armature rheostat and field
rheostat to the minimum positions. Start the motor. Vary the field rheostat in step
and measure If and speed N. Take 10 sets of reading at stable stepping.
Keeping the supply voltage V and field rheostat fixed, vary the armature rheostat
insteps. Take readings of Ia and N. Take at least 10 sets of readings at suitable
steeping.
Apply 240V dc across the motor terminals. Keep the armature rheostat and field
rheostat to the minimum positions. Start the motor. Decrease the supply voltage V
in step and measure speed N. Take 10 sets of reading at stable stepping.
