Applied Voltage Control method of dc motor

Speed Control of D.C. Shunt Motor (Part3)

 3. Applied Voltage Control
        Multiple voltage control : In this technique the shunt field of the motor is permanently connected to a fixed voltage supply, while the armature is supplied with various voltages by means of suitable switch gear arrangements.
       The Fig. 1 shows a control of motor by tow different working voltages which can be applied to it with the help of switch gear. 
Fig. 1  Multiple voltage control
       In large factories, various values of armature voltages and corresponding arrangement can be used to obtain the speed control.
1.1 Advantages of Applied Voltage Control
1. Gives wide range of speed control.
2. Speed control in both directions can be achieved very easily.
3. Uniform acceleration can be obtained.
1.2 Disadvantages of Applied Voltage Control
1. Arrangement is expensive as provision of various auxiliary equipments is necessary.
2. Overall efficiency is low.
General steps to solve problems on speed control
1. Identify the method of speed control i.e. in which of the motor, the external resistance is to be inserted.
2. Use the torque equation,  T α  Φ Ia to determine the new armature current according to the condition of the torque given. Load condition indicates the condition of the torque.
3. Use the speed equation N α  Eb/Φ to find the unknown back e.m.f. or field current.
4. From the term calculated above and using voltage current relationship of the motor, the value of extra resistance to be added, can be determined. The above steps may vary little bit according to the nature of the problem but are always the base of any speed control problem

Demagnetising and Cross Magnetizing Conductors

The conductors which are responsible for producing demagnetizing and distortion effects are shown in the Fig.1. Fig. 1        The brushes are lying along the new position of MNA which is at angle θ  from GNA. The conductors in the region AOC = BOD = 2θ  at the top and bottom of the armature are carrying current in such a direction as to send the flux in armature from right to left. Thus these conductors are in direct opposition to main field and called demagnetizing armature conductors.         The remaining armature conductors which are lying in the region AOD and BOC carry current in such a direction as to send the flux pointing vertically downwards i.e. at right angles to the main field flux. Hence these conductors are called cross magnetizing armature conductors which will cause distortion in main field flux.        These conductors are shown in the Fig. 2 Fig. 2  ...

Armature Voltage Control Method or Rheostatic Control of dc motor

Speed Control of D.C. Shunt Motor (Part2)  2. Armature Voltage Control Method or Rheostatic Control        The speed is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the armature. As the supply voltage is normally constant, the voltage across the armature can be controlled by adding a variable resistance in series with the armature as shown in the Fig. 1. Fig. 1 Rheostat control of shunt motor        The field winding is excited by the normal voltage hence I sh is rated and constant in this method. Initially the reheostat position is minimum and rated voltage gets applied across the armature. So speed is also rated. For a given load, armature current is fixed. So when extra resistance is added in the armature circuit, I a remains same and there is voltage drop across the resistance added ( I a R). Hence voltage across the armature decreases, decreasing the speed below normal value. By varyi...

Characteristics of Separately Excited D.C. Generators

The characteristics is separately excited d.c. generator are divided into two types, 1) Magnetization   and         2) Load characteristics. 1.1 Magnetization or Open Circuit Characteristics         The arrangement to obtain this characteristics is shown in the Fig. 1. Fig. 1  Obtaining O.C.C. of separately excited generator        The rheostat as a potential driver is used to control the field current and the flux. It is varied from zero and is measured on ammeter connected.        E o  = (ΦPNZ) / (60A)        As I f is varied, then Φ change and hence induced e.m.f. E o  also varies. It is measured on voltmeter connected across armature. No Load is connected to machine, hence characteristics are also called no load characteristics which is graph of E o  against field current I f as sho...
