Introduction
We know that the speed of shunt motor is given by:
N = (V-IaRa)/kФ
Where, Va is the voltage applied across the armature and φ is the flux per pole and is
proportional to the field current If.. As explained earlier, armature current Ia is decided by the
mechanical load present on the shaft. Therefore, by varying Va and If we can vary n. For fixed
supply voltage and the motor connected as shunt we can vary Va by controlling an external
resistance connected in series with the armature. If of course can be varied by controlling
external field resistance Rf connected with the field circuit.

Background
The characteristics which indicate the operating properties of a DC generator are the no load
characteristic respectively the load characteristic for separate-, shunt- and compound
excitation.
Thus for shunt motor we have essentially two methods for controlling speed, namely by:
1. Varying armature resistance.
2. Varying field resistance.

Figure above shows MV1300 Power Pack

Description
MV1300 Power Pack – a power supply unit especially adapted for laboratory experiments on
electric machines and power systems. It can be used where variable or fixed AC or DC is
required and is particularly suited to the laboratory experiments with Terco´s torque meters and
test machines. It is designed to slide under the lab table so that controls and connections are in a
comfortable working position.
The contactor for variable voltages has a safety limit switch which eliminates switching on high
voltages by mistake, thus protecting students and equipment especially when working on
electrical machines.
All outputs are fused by MCB´s and have load switches.
The Power Pack has also Earth Leakages Circuit Breaker (ELCB).

Multi meter

Figure above shows the multi meter

Description
A multi meter is a measuring instrument that can measure multiple electrical properties. A
typical multi meter can measure voltage, resistance, and current, in which case it is also known
as a volt-ohm-milliam meter (VOM), as the unit is equipped with voltmeter, ammeter, and
ohmmeter functionality. Some feature the measurement of additional properties such as
temperature and capacitance.
Analog multi meters use a microam meter with a moving pointer to display readings. Digital
multi meters (DMM, DVOM) have numeric displays and have made analogue multi meters
virtually obsolete as they are cheaper, more precise, and more physically robust than analogue
multi meters.

order to investigate characteristics The DC-machine is built on a stand on which various test
machines can be quickly and easily mounted. Depending on the object to be tested, the machine
can be connected as a brake generator or a driving motor. Suitable connections are made on the
terminal block, which is located on the machine's instrument panel.
The foundation, coupling, eyebolt, and terminal block are all made of aluminum. Under the
guides and plastic rails
The foundation ensures that each machine is accurately aligned and slides easily on the stand.

Initial preparations
 Connect the DC machine MV1028 (MV1034) as motor and the DC machine MV 1006 as
generator in accordance with the circuit diagram. Make a note of the ratings of the DC
generator shown on the rating plate. These ratings must not be exceeded at any time
during the laboratory experiments. The supervisor should now check the connections.

 The DC generator is fed with controlled DC voltage from the Power supply (via shunt
rheostat Rm2). Adjust the shunt rheostat (Rm2) to obtain minimum excitation current.
Turn on the fixed DC voltage switch.

 The DC machine MV1028 (MV1034) is also excited from the fixed DC voltage of the
Power supply. The excitation current is controlled by the shunt rheostat (Rm1). Adjust
the shunt rheostat to obtain maximum excitation current. Set the variable DC voltage
control to zero and turn on the variable voltage switch. Then turn up the rotor voltage to
220V. The machine starts and reaches approximately 1500rpm.
No load characteristic E = f (I,,) for separate excitation
 Adjust the brake machine MV1028 to bring the speed to 1400rpm. This speed must be
maintained constant throughout the experiment and must therefore be checked from time
to time. The switch S must be off.
 Vary the excitation current Im in steps of 0.1A from zero to maximum and for every step
make a note of |, and the induced voltage in the results section 2.3.

 Vary the excitation current in steps of 0.1A from max to zero and for every step make a
note of I, and U.
 Observe that, with increase and decrease respectively of the excitation current, the
induced emf will differ owing to magnetic hysteresis in iron parts of the machine. Check
the speed.

 Repeat the measurements at 1200rpm.

Load characteristic U = f (Iz) for separate excitation

Adjust the speed of the brake machine to 1400rpm. This speed must be maintained
constant throughout the experiment and must therefore be checked from time to time.

Adjust the shunt rheostat Rm2 of the DC generator to bring the generator voltage to
220V. The switch S must still be off. Make a note of the setting of the generator
excitation current Im. This excitation current must be maintained constant during the
entire experiment and must therefore be checked from time to time.

Adjust the load resistor Rg to minimum load. Use only one phase of Rg, at the lowest
load. Turn on the switch S and with the load resistor Rg vary the load current Ig in steps
of 1A up to the rated current. For each step make notes of the current Is and the voltage
U in the results section 2.3.
Check the speed and the excitation current!

Load characteristic U = f (lp) for shunt excitation

In the preceding experiments the generator has been separately excited. Stop the machine
and switch it to shunt excitation by moving the excitation circuit from the fixed 220VDC to
generator voltag

Conclusion
In conclusion, to alter If an external resistance is connected in series with the field windings. As we decrease the field current, the
motor's speed rises, and speed control above the base speed is achieved. The speed versus armature current characteristic is shown.
The current and flux are both affected by changing the armature circuit resistance. The voltage drop in the variable resistance reduces
the applied voltage to the armature, reducing the motor's speed.
