Speed Regulation
● The change on speed when the load on the motor is reduced from rated value
to zero.
Regulation = x100
Basic relation for explaining characteristics
Φ
● Eb = x
● Eb ∝ ΦN
E
● N ∝ Φb
● Ta = 0.159 ΦZIax( )

Characteristics of dc motor
● Torque vs Armature Current (T vs Ia)
Electrical Characteristics
● Speed vs Armature Current (N vs Ia)
● Speed vs Torque (N vs T ) Mechanical Characteristics
Based on speed-torque(N-T) characteristics
● Constant speed drive
● Constant power drive
● Adjustable speed drive
Constant speed drive
● When the torque increases , speed remains constant

Characteristics of dc series motor
● Torque vs Armature Current (T vs Ia)

Characteristics of dc series motor
Speed vs Armature Current (N vs Ia)
Eb
● N
Φ
● Φ If
● If = Ia
● Eb =V- IaRa
● If Ia increases , Eb will decrease
V− IaRa
● N
Ia
● So when armature current increases(Ia)
, speed(N) will decrease
Characteristics of dc series motor
Speed vs Torque (N vs T )
(Mechanical Characteristics)
Eb
● N
Φ
● Φ If
● If = Ia
● Ta Ia
● We can change Ia with 𝑇
E
● So, N ∝ b
● Eb =V- IaRa , Eb is consider as constant ,
change in armature current IaRa is negligible
because Ra value is very small
N∝
𝑻
Conclusion
● When the load of DC SERIES motor is zero or low ,Armature current will be
low so speed will be high or infinite for zero load or no load
● Never start dc series motor in no load condition
● Torque is proportional to square of armature current, so dc series motor will
produce large starting torque with less power effort at starting
