DC Drive System
2
High Speed / Low Speed Adjustment
• High Speed rheostat is
used to adjust
maximum speed of
motor.
• Low Speed rheostat is
used to adjust minimum
speed of motor.
3
Acceleration and Deceleration Adjustment
• When speed control is adjusted too
soft start. 4
Methods used to Adjust Parameters of DC Drive
• Speed Control
• IR Compensation
• Current Limiting
• High Speed / Low Speed
• Acceleration / Deceleration
7
Load Characteristics
• One of the primary factors used to select an
adjustable drive is the type of load the motor will
be driving.

Constant Horsepower Load
𝑇𝑜𝑟𝑞𝑢𝑒 × 𝑆𝑝𝑒𝑒𝑑
• 𝐻𝑃 = ; Torque lb-ft, Speed RPM
5252
• An example of this type of load lathe machine.
• Suitable Drive: Variable Voltage and Field Drive
10
Variable Torque Load
• Torque required by load varies proportional to square
of the speed. 𝑇𝑜𝑟𝑞𝑢𝑒 = 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡 × 𝑆𝑝𝑒𝑒𝑑 2
• Examples load: Large Centrifugal Fans and Pumps
11
Motor Braking
• Some industrial applications require that a
rotary mechanism be stopped quickly.
• However because of inertia it may be difficult
to stop a mechanism abruptly.
• Since DC motors are used as the prime mover
for certain machines, certain types of motor
braking techniques have been used.
• Two popular Methods are: Dynamic Braking
and Regenerative Braking
12
Dynamic Braking
• Dynamic braking uses a resistor to absorb K.E. from the
rotating armature and the load to which it is connected.
• Smaller value of R faster it slows down.
• When Start button is closed Normal Operation
• When Stop button is opened Dynamic Braking
13
Regenerative Braking
• In this power from K.E. is returned to the power supply.
• During normal operation Forward SCR Bridge is ON
• During braking operation Reverse SCR Bridge is ON
– It causes the reverse current flow in armature of DCM.
– This causes the torque of the armature to develop in opposite
direction. It counters forward torque of motor, causing it to
decelerate quickly.
14
Regenerative Braking
• When the motor rotation Stops, the reverse SCR bridge
should turn OFF, else the motor will begin rotating in
opposite direction.
