This document describes a procedure to perform a load test on a DC shunt motor. Key details include: - The test is performed on a 5HP, 220V, 20.5A DC shunt motor to obtain its operating characteristics under varying loads. - Load is applied using a belt-pulley arrangement and tensions are measured to calculate motor output power. - Motor speed, voltage, and current are recorded at different loads to plot graphs of efficiency vs output, speed vs output, and other relationships. - The goal is to understand the motor's performance under different loading conditions.

LOADTEST ON DC SHUNT MOTOR


AIM: To perform load test on DC shunt motor.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:
1. Ammeters (0-2.5 A) & (0-25 A)
2. Voltmeter (0-300 V)
3. DC supply
4. Shunt motor 5 hp, 220 V, 20.5 A, 1400 rpm
5. Belt-pulley loading arrangement
6. Connecting wires

THEORY:
shunt across the power source in a
The field coil and the armature winding are connected in
has its ends attached to spring
DC shunt motor. A belt around the air or water cooled pulley
balances.
and therefore on the motor. If
The tightening of belt help in adjusting a load on the pulley
spring balances are calibrated in pounds, the motor output given by
is

Motor output = 0.45roT, -T9.81 watts


Where: Ti and T2 are tensions on the tight and slack sides of the belt (in pound),

Then plot the Efficiency verses output curve.


characteristics:
Following graphs will give the motor's operating
Speed vs Amature current
Torque vs Armature current
Speed vs Torque
Speed vs output

PROCEDURE:
1. Connect voltmeter & ammeter according to the circuit diagram with the hclp of
connecting wires.
2. Start the motor and slightly increase the load step wise and note the corresponding
tensions.
3. Note down the voltage and current relative to the speed of motor.

PRECAUTiONS:
1. Instruments must be of required range.
2. Increase the load stepwise.
3. Connections should be propcr and tight.
4. Do not touch any open terminal
during the experiment.
