OBJECTIVE:-

The objective of the experiments was to demonstrate the connection of a DC Shunt wound motor
and Control the direction of the motor, to demonstrate the Torque-Speed characteristics and
control the speed of a DC Shunt wound motor.

RESULTS

Voltage and Current Equation of a Shunt Wound DC Motor

Itotal = Ia + Ish

Thus we put this value of armature electric current Ia to get general voltage equation of a dc shunt motor.

Connection and Motor Direction Control

The direction of rotation of a dc motor depends on the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of
current flow in the armature. If either the direction of the field or the direction of current flow through the
armature is reversed, the rotation of the motor will reverse. However, if both of these factors are reversed
at the same time, the motor will continue rotating in the same direction. In actual practice terminals A1
and A2 were reversed thereby reversing the direction of the Motor due to the change of the direction of
the magnetic fields in the motor in other words the field excitation voltage is reversed in order to reverse
motor direction.

The direction of rotation = anticlockwise

The direction of rotation = clockwise

The speed of any DC motor depends directly on its armature voltage and the strength of its
magnetic field. The field winding in a shunt motor is in parallel with the armature winding and
the DC supply. Basing ın this fact, when the DC line voltage was kept constant, the armature
voltage was constant and thus the magnetic field strength was assumed to be constant. This
consistency leads to a reasonably constant speed of operation.
The speed does tend to drop with increasing load on the motor. This drop in speed is a result of
resistive losses in the armature winding. Shunt motors with low armature winding resistance tend
to have nearly constant speed of operation.

When a DC motor was rotating at constant speed for an instance in steady state, the torque produced by
the motor was balanced by the torque required from the load.

As the experiment was carried out, when net torque on the shaft was zero, there was no
acceleration or deceleration hence, the speed remained constant.
It can be observed from the graph above that:-
 Tmotor > Tload, the motor increases its speed (i.e., accelerates).
 Tmotor < Tload, the motor decreases its speed (i.e., decelerates).

CONCLUSION
 EE310

In conclusion, the direction of rotation of a dc motor depends on the direction of the magnetic field and
the direction of current flow in the armature. If either the direction of the field or the direction of current
flow through the armature is reversed, the rotation of the motor will reverse. Ordinarily, a motor is set up
to do a particular job that requires a fixed direction of rotation. However, there are times when it is
necessary to change the direction of rotation, such as a drive motor for a gun turret or missile launcher.
Each of these must be able to move in both directions. In addition, the DC shunt motor is not 100%
efficient. Not all of the electric energy supplied to the motor is converted into useful work (mechanical
power). The difference between electrical power supplied and mechanical power available at the shaft is
lost in the form of heat inside the motor. Losses increase as the load on the motor increases, resulting in
significant heating of the motor at full load. To sum it up, it was interesting to observe that when Torque
in the motor was larger than the Torque in the load the speed of the motor increased and when the Torque
of the motor was lower than the Torque of the load the speed of the motor start decreasing as expected.
